1) 15 million to spend, ok I do this: to add @ 4 million more.

-dump Vinny Ray (2.7)
-Restructure Mike Johnson's deal

Our FA's

-only resign Chris Smith. I let the others walk or wait til FA is almost over to sign them back, don't bid against ourselves.

Extend:

1) Tyler Kroft
2) one of Dunlop or Atkins

Outside FA's
1) LB
2) OT

You'd really want to dump our best and most experienced backup LB?  Heck, the guy doesn't even cost that much, and in a pinch he can play any of the 3 spots.  I wouldn't let go of Rey, until I knew for sure that we had a competent player to replace him.

I'd be more on board with dumping MJ altogether, signing Chris Smith back, and letting him and Willis handle the role.
