I’m aware.
That’s why Payne will make more.
All I’m doing is showing why Jones will be in the next tier.
For what it’s worth, Payne finished with a career low run grade this season at 43.5, which is really bad. He’s been stout against the run throughout his career though but his run D took a couple steps back while his pass rush took off. He’s still going to get paid a mega deal by someone though.
I’m hoping Dre falls around the 15 mil per mark and the Bears snag him. RRH is probably a tier down from Dre and he got 10 mil per. Dre is probably a tier down from Payne and Payne is looking at like 20-22 mil per season, so 15 for Jones seems feasible ?
Always tough to predict numbers in FA. You’re pretty much always overpaying though
