I will take
RT Jack Conklin for $8M
DE Robert Quinn for $6.1M
DE Dante Fowler for $6.7M
CB Quinton Dunbar for $3.4M
With plenty of money left over to fill out the roster and over pay some guys if necessary like a Greg Olsen and a Jarran Reed.
The cap hit of just Conklin, Quinn and Fowler in 2021 is $46.5m, and in 2022 it's $51m. Conklin even carries a dead cap hit of $6m in 2023 despite being a free agent that year because of the way Cleveland have constructed the contract.
And that's why the Bears, Browns and Falcons won't come close to winning a title any time soon.
Not really. Fowler's contract is easy to get out of in '21 if he under performs, which really balloons that number.
The Bears don't have a QB, or they would be true contenders. The Browns look pretty good, but Baker probably isn't the answer. And the Falcons roster is a dumpster fire outside outside of Julio and Matt Ryan. These UFA signings have very little to do with their respective futures.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks with those players would greatly increase their chances to win the Super Bowl this year. If the Seahawks do not go on a deep playoff run this season, best believe they will go this route next off-season. They will be cutting under performing, overpriced veterans, extending Jamal Adams to lower his number, and they are going to go get a couple of impact defensive players.
