The biggest difference though is we won't be paying big bucks for a QB for the foreseeable future. Marriota won't command a big contract and Ridder just got here. jetpac, PokerSteve and Aluminafalcon 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLskinjob Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Oh come on man. We are about to have so much cap space. Pitts is being built into this team like a cornerstone. He's not going anywhere. This reminds me of when people were saying that we were gonna let Koo and Jarrett walk this off-season. You don't let a guy like Pitts walk away. Not that any of this matters for like two years. jetpac, Brookings, PokerSteve and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a catch 22 when you prioritize (and potentially) hit on two WR in the top 8 two years in a row, alot of money to be allocated to WR of London and Pitts work out and then defense will be starving. It's why successful teams year after year don't do that. Heck, Baltimore isn't even paying the face of their franchise yet. We've prioritized WR position year after year and if they pan out, the opportunity cost is our defense. Then again Atlanta fans don't seem to care about defense or trenches.

Boy will your face be red if LV and MIA make a serious push for the SB. Lol jk. It also depends on what you mean by big contracts. If we're talking about highest paid WR in the league, then yeah that's one thing. But if we're talking about paying a middle to higher tier player a decent contract, I got no problem with it. Both KC and GB paid their receivers at one point. They weren't highest in the league type contracts, but they still got new contracts. Just saying.

Falconus Prime Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I’d rather pay Pitts wide receiver money than to overpay a wide receiver who would not be as talented. By the time Pitts is up for a new contract he is going to be the best tight ends in the NFL. He will be just as good as any wide receiver in the league but will have more of a skill set. Outside of quarterback i’m completely fine with him being the most expensive offensive weapon. Outside of maybe Matt Ryan Kyle Pitts will probably be one of the best first round picks the Falcons I’ve made in the last 20 years when it is all said and done. Dan Reeves would’ve had to wash his jeans after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I see this totally different from you... If we can get Pitts for under 20 mil to 20 mil thats a DEAL... Dude will produce and be used as a #1 WR but we are getting him well under #1 WR money. What im interested to see is what happens with Chris Lindstrom and McGary... If Lindstrom balls out im sure we will want to extend him next year.. What happens if McGary bounce back and have a good year.
