In my best Monty Burns voice...."Exxxxcellent"

I see it all resulting in one-year deals for some vets looking to get better long term agreements next offseason when hopefully the league is back to raking in money at the old clip.  A team like this could get some really good players as mercenaries in 2021.  There's no huge QB contract being paid out, and we'll be in the upper end of cap room with the vets we have expiring and the possible release of Atkins.  You could load up without being on the hook for 4 or 5 seasons and dealing with all of the pitfalls that come with deals like that.  You just have to draft well in 2021 and 2022 to get young guys in place to replace the mercenaries when they leave to get the long-term money elsewhere.
