They already have the 4th most cap space in the NFL, $11m ahead of 5th place.
That doesn't factor in the inevitable release of Trae Waynes and probable release of Trey Hopkins, freeing up another $16.8m.... that would put them at about $8m more cap space than ANY other team in the NFL.
They are looking at having $72.6m in cap space. That's plenty to get a GREAT OL with. Thuney signed last year for $16m/yr, Linsley for $12.5m/yr.
There's absolutely no financial need to get rid of Tyler Boyd.
We have a lot of players to sign, I hope you are right. We will see. Keep in mind we need to front load these new FA's because the next 3 years will be loaded with way higher extensions for star players. Overpaying for a 4 catch per game wr today could hamper us with someone in the future.
But I hope you are right.
