Here are my loose odds for next offseason moves...
AD is 75% likely to be extended. Around $20 million per with a heavy guaranteed but it will be for at least 5-6 years (not just 3).
Watkins is 50% likely to extend, and that assumes that he will sign for around $8-9 million. If not, he’s probably a goner. I think McVay likes Reynolds, tbh.
Quinn is 90% likely to be a cap cut goner. As la puts it, he’s lost his fastball. That’s a ton of cap savings right there with no apparent loss of edge rush, if we’re being realistic.
TruJo is no more than 50% likely to extend. The reason being that he will continue to overvalue himself. Hopefully, he will come to his senses.
Joyner is 75% likely to extend. Wade loves him and he loves Wade’s D, plus I think he will be reasonable about his salary demands.
Tavon is 90% likely a goner. Only a net $3 million cap savings, but he’s largely superfluous, anymore. And $3 million can get a decent player at some position as a possible starter or for serious depth (like OL, maybe).
I’m at peace with all of the above. Any players that walk can and will be replaced by this FO and coaching staff. Some by the draft, maybe a few via FA. This staff can evaluate talent and players whose “mindset” fits into this culture AND then knows how to develop them quickly into big contributors. This last draft and FA has proven that.
Fit super important. Specifically the ability to communicate across the organization > Coaches requirements (athletic, smart, professional, tough, coachable, hard worker, whatever) > so scouts can identify & recognize those requisite traits & attributes > and front office can draft, acquire, trade for. That ability ORGANIZATIONALLY has been a big part of of Belichick's success.
