But we also only have 35 players under contract for next year.  And look at the starters and other main contributors we will have to replace.

Reiff, starter
Ogunjobi, starter
Uzomah, starter
Bates, starter
Spain, starter
Apple, starter

B.J. Hill, 50% of snaps
Tupou, 40% of snaps


We are not going to have as much money to spend as a lot of people think

Thing is, 9 teams are already over the projected cap per Spotrac.  Then there are another 6 with less than $10 mil to spend.  That's 15 teams that are going to have to do major restructuring and/or cuts to be able to make any kind of move at all.  

Another thing to consider is that there will be quality vets willing to sign on the cheap for a chance to chase a ring. That makes it easier to fill out your depth chart and plug a couple of holes in your starting lineup.
