Getting ahead of the market is the smart thing to do if you have conviction on the player.
Jerry Jones and Mike Brown just don’t get it.
The Bears should do Kyler ASAP.

The cap goes up every year, as do players' salaries.

Of course it does, but the percentage of the cap that these top contracts are taking up is going up even faster.

I actually don't think he is the type to complain about that type of thing

They definitely can, but the Bengals are not a cash rich team relative to their peers. Or at minimum, they're more fiscally responsible with how they use cash. But they're not rich outside of owning a football team like some owners. This has cost them a lot of money this season though cause they could've done deals a year ago and have saved significant cash.
Anyway, after dishing out so much cash in these deals, they probably aren't too excited to do the same for Hendrickson. I'm sure there are plenty other owners that would just pay Hendrickson now and move on. So that said, this is more of an ownership thing than anything else at this point. Not throwing stones in my glass house here... just kind of a known thing.

Yeah the upfront cash layout is something most fans don’t think about. We typically think about cap space only

Yup, lets get guys paid... probably starting with Gordon.
They need to think about some others too. Namely:
- Braxton - Gotta decide first if they even want to keep him. If he's the weakest link on the line, I can be ok with it. I think a mobile QB like Caleb can manage an average LT so long as his IOL is amazing.
- Edwards - I like Edwards, but not sure what he's looking for in money. Also, not sure if there's a fit issue in Allen's defense.
- Wright - Debatably early to talk about, but I'd get ahead of this one like we did with DJ. Figure out how they want to negotiate considering the 5th year option cost. Barring injury, there's no world where I don't see the Bears keeping him.

I can see it now, depth signing with the Bears for league minimum.

Gordon for sure. I would say Edwards fits this system, much like Davis does with the Saints. That being said, Bears probably won't sign him to an early extension.

They had a lot of cap space. Remember, they've got very little money invested in QB, same as us.

They have very few significant contracts on the books. Really only JJ, right? Hockenson? Darrisaw probably kicks in soon. They've also not been drafting very well and don't have a lot of extensions to get done. I can't think of any significant draft hits to get extended. I guess Addison soon enough.

How do you get a $90M deal but only $89M is guaranteed? Is the last million supposed to be an incentive of some sort?

Random $1M roster bonus maybe? Does seem like a weird place to draw a line in the sand.

Edwards could easily slide in as the MLB if we want to let Edmunds go.
It doesn't make much sense for the Bears or for Braxton to talk extension right now. From the Bears' side, are you really wanting to sign a guy that many think should be a swing tackle to a deal well over $10 mil per year? And from Braxton's side, you've finally got an interior line to take the pressure off and a coach that's got a history of helping his tackles a lot more than he had before, so why not put a good year on film and possibly go get $20+ mil considering where these contracts are going as the cap continues to rise.
