Why not keep Payne, Allen and Mathis?

They should. And if they are even considering that, then they should have already had discussions with Payne's agent to see if he's willing TO stay IF they pay him...but they probably haven't and he'll walk. Which is why I would trade him now and try to get something.

For me it is a question of would he be willing to sign a new contract with the team.

You can never have enough good players. Payne's having his best year. If you can make it happen try and re-sign him. If you get rid of him who are you bringing in that's better? You're not re-signing Wentz so perhaps that will free up money to take care of Payne. I'm not resigning Sweat.

Money affects some players. No idea if Sweat or Payne would be one of those guys.

I think everyone who has followed the team recently knew Allen wasn't.

Hagler said it's hard to do roadwork at 5am when your sleepin in silk pjs.

Allen cap hit is 9.5M this year. Jumps to 21.5M cap hit per year next year.

Payne is a good player but hes not elite, certainly not worth Allen's contract (4 yrs/72M)

DT franchise tag hit was 17.396M this year.

Matty I is set to be a FA this offseason ...

----------

Sweat and Payne are not 20M per players imo.

If you look at the contract the Bucs gave Vita Vea that would be the starting point I think (5 year, $17.75m apy), same draft, less than Allen ($18.0m apy) and arguably less productive than Vea. First year cap hit would circa $9m
