My Strategy:

1) Cut Tre Waynes- frees up another 11 million towards the cap, which gives us @ 70 million to spend.

2) Re-sign our own: (Millions per)

- BJ Hill- DT- (7)- it's either him or Ogunjobi.
- CJ Uzomeh-TE- (6)
- Kevin Huber-P (1.7)
- Clark Harris- LS (1)
- Brandon Allen-QB (1)
- Eli Apple-CB (4)
- Tre Flowers-CB (1.5)
- Jesse Bates-FS (10) we sign to a long term deal something like 4/40
- Quentin Spain-G (7)
- Mike Thomas-WR/ST (1)

total internal FA's = @ 42 million

3) Outside FA's

- Morgan Moses-RT (Washington) (7)- shores up the RT position, 3/21
- Mason Cole-C (Vikings) (2)- I like him as a solid experienced IOL backup over Hill.
- Malcolm Smith- OLB (Browns) (3)- I like him as an added insurance and improves the overall LB core depth.

-- total outside FA's = @ 12 million.

- I feel our core is solid already, Moses/Cole upgrade the O-line now and it allows us to draft an O-lineman in 1-3 to eventually start, and we can continue to build through the draft. The FA savings will allow us to extend some of our own.

4) Draft ( 1-4 rd)

1rd) Daxton Hill-CB/S (Michigan)- he strengthens the overall defense

2nd) Max Mitchell- OT (Louisiana)- gives us a RT of the future. 6'6 305

3rd) John Ridgeway-DT (Arkansas)- solid D-line rotational guy 6'2 320

4th) Cole Turner-TE ( Nevada) - 6'6 240, would be a nice red zone over the middle target.

Bro if I'm Bates, no way am I taking only $10 mill a year. The tag is $13 mill. Simmons just signed for $15.25 mill APY.
I'm Demanding $14 mill APY minimum if I'm Bates.
Not a fan of the only real OL upgrade made is Morgan Moses.
RG you're taking a gamble that one of Carman, Adeniji, or Smith ascends this coming offseason.
I hope one does, but I'm not taking that gamble if I'm wanting to be a perennial SB contender.
