Ballard may have wanted some extra money available for possible contract extensions - Pittman Jr would probably be the biggest target from the 2020 draft class for an extension.
Wouldn't JT be a higher priority?

Not really. Positional value and aging curves dictate Pittman would be the top priority. I would double franchise Taylor before giving him a second contract.

Thanks. That's a big chunk for the rookie pool, but I'm guessing other than Richardson, Brents, and possibly Downs the rookies will be at worst net neutral and probably a cap reduction from our current top 53.

Agreed, he is great and I love him, but fuck giving him a big long-term contract, too much risk vs reward. Hell if AR looks good just move on after the first.
