I think the main issue isn't lack of money so much as too many spots to fill. Some are backups that can be filled with mid round picks and cheaper vets, but some are holes at major starting spots.
I think the team might surprise us when it comes to conventional wisdom. Bates is a huge question for me. 16-18 is big money for a team that doesn't love throwing that kind of coin at safeties. I wouldn't be surprised to see them find a young safety in the draft and spend money on a vet corner. They've shown that they have zero qualms about spending on FA corners, and the need isn't a small one.
My hope is that they can poach some cut veterans to fill these spots when they start hitting the streets.
