will come down to $$

They have the money to extend him. And I would love if they did keep Dotson. But there is a limit for a RG.

For example, Ben Powers got 4 yrs./$51M with $28M guaranteed from DEN last spring. And that deal will net BAL a 4th round comp. pick.

But if they can do a 3-year deal in the $6-8M/year range (like Seumalo, McGovern and Bozeman signed last year) with maybe half guaranteed that's worth it.
