If you can pay everyone, that would be ideal. But I think there is a limited amount of NIL to go around. I wouldn't mortgage the future for one year of Price if it meant losing other elite and/or upcoming players.
The question would be: How much is Price worth to the team that has Williams, Young and James with Osbourne and Walton coming in?
Would paying a large sum to Price mean we lose an OL or two? Edge rusher? etc... Just my thoughts. I do love Price and it would be great to have him for another year.
