Last year the pool for 1st overall was about $9.4 million so figure roughly $10 million this year for us. Then, as much as everyone hates the "Hobson Math" there are certain things you have to account for one being any additional guys you add to cover guys who go to IR as you still have to pay the IR guys so you need a couple million around for those guys. 

Overall, I'd say you probably spent about $20-25 Million too much in your scenario and that is setting aside the issues with spending all of your money on long term contracts in a single season with a large amount of re-signings next year (with a potential Mixon re-sign this off season). One thing to consider though is there is a rumor of a new CBA that could actually be signed before the FA period. If that is the case we could be in a whole new weird world and that could come with it's own pot holes to navigate.

true, but that's why this is a mock with potential moves that make sense compared to an actual line by line breakdown like I did on jungle noise a month or so ago.  I am still not in favor of signing AJ green at this point simply because of how much time he missed on his last contract.  People talk about how this guy like he's played on a discount here, but the fact is he just made 15m last year without playing a single game.  We wouldn't be in this situation where we need the guy if we would have traded him, but I don't want to get ranting.


BTW I do not start realistic mocks until after the combine especially when it comes to the offseason because I want to talk about alternatives draft picks and free agents that others don't spend a lot of time on.  Maybe I should clarify in the post that the Free agents are options because obviously your not signing that many free agents.  My mistake
