I can see that happening, but honestly I kind of hate the approach.
With all the holes/lackluster play at so many positions the past two years, there should be no determining whether the money is needed or not.
It 100% will be needed.
3 OL (4 if you add C)
1 DT
1-2 DEs
2+ CBs
2+ WRs
Arguably 1 TE (unless you have faith in Uzomah)
Arguably 1 LB (unless you have faith in two of Pratt, Wilson, ADG, and Bailey ascending to solid-or-better)
1 K
1 P

They only have 1 pick in each of the first three rounds of the draft, which are really the only rounds anyone can "expect" a quality starter to come from. If a quality starter comes from Rds 4-7, that's just icing, IMO.

So the need is there to use the money in FA. The problem will be do they think some of their guys are good enough or not.
