but that Thomas contract looks like a big bargain.

Has saved them $4-5M in APY. I think you can argue AT is better, but Wirfs has a better overall body of work.

Locking up Dex saved them at least $6M, probably more.

Not sure why they did not do this with McKinney, and why they aren’t doing it with Pinnock.

My guess is McKinneys accident

But the fact that he drafted Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence is a small, but significant consolation prize.

Two best players on the team.
