The players who are going to play all the other positions are all the guys they drafted the last few years, just for that purpose.
They decided to pour beaucoup bucks into the offense. That's well and good. They still have money to pay Trey and field a full defense. If you're going to pay the offense that much, you have to crush the draft with defensive players. The problem becomes, those drafted players not developing because they did not draft well (if that is how it plays out).
Philly did the same thing. Pay for a top QB. Pay for 2 WRs. Pay for an elite RB. Yet they smashed the shit out of the draft on the defensive side and won a ring.
No, they are fine with the money, the money has already been agreed to. They just don't want to be locked into guaranteed money if and when his performance drops. It's not like he's a 2nd contract player, he's a 4th contract player on the backend of his career. Sure, he was great last year and maybe will be great this year. Do you really want to bet he'll be great 3 years from now? Did you ever stop to ask yourself why Trey is so desperate to have that third year guarantee???
