Lattimore played good this last game. But he was up and down all yer. It's a tough call on keeping him.

Welcome to salary cap hell.

IMO the hardest position to fill with an elite player outside of QB is CB. When you have one, you keep him.

I agree on Peat - that contract was a head scratcher.

I never understood the Taysom Hill contract. His 2021 cap number is $16,159,000. I understand the logic behind being excited about a player..., but normally players play their way into that kind of money.

Way too much for a player who you aren’t sold on as being a future starter, especially at QB. Maybe half that at the most. While he does provide another wrinkle, what he brings definitely doesn’t warrant that kind of money. That cap number is going to hurt next year.

It will be interesting to see if they ride next season out with him at QB.
