So why did his contract take 3 years to kick in, and sacrifice cap space? Which put us in a bad spot for 2016, 2017, 2018. We were 5-11 last year looking to add playmakers and we are completely hindered by backloaded contracts of Jimmy, Webb, Flacco, Monroe, and Pitta. I don't understand why we continue to make deals like this. Look how injuries, and declining performance has backfired on these deals. Pay a flat base and stay disciplined financially. We could actually add some high impact Free Agents for a change when there are bargains, or retain more of our own. Our records since his contract: 8-8, 10-6, 5-11. One Playoff in appearance three years and now his cap number is doubling. If his salary had a flat base, we would already have a deal done with KO. Instead we are assuming that he is already gone.
