Exactly. We have an extremely, young team on rookie contracts.

You have to account for the fact that 3 or 4 years from now people will be retiring. Players will be getting cut. Contracts will be renegotiated. The salary cap will rise. We’ll be fine...and it’s irrational to think we’ll be able to keep everybody.

How much longer will Cam Jordan be elite? Ingram probably won’t come back next year. Unger has a couple years left. We might not even bring Peat back. Kamara will get his money. Thomas will get his money. Lattimore and Williams will get theirs. Those are our premier, young players. We have plenty of time. That’s what these GM’s get payed to do.
