Morgan Moses/RT
Connor Williams/LG
James Daniels/RG
Bradley Bozeman/C
Mike Remmers/backup T
Austin Blythe/backup C/G

That's $35.045 million and gives us four good starters plus two quality backups.  From there, sign Gronk, Colt McCoy, and a decent CB2.  Resign whoever is cheaper between Og and Hill, Huber, and Phillips wouldn't be a bad depth signing at that price.  Draft a FS and 3 tech early and then load up on WR, RB, and secondary depth in the draft.  

It will be an interesting FA period.  There will be a huge initial push for the top guys, but then the market will crash.  There's a ton of quality FA's and a lot of teams strapped for cap space.  I mean, AJ Green isn't even Top 100.  That's how stacked FA is.

I like Moses too. Note he signed for $3.6 million this past offseason. Here's a writeup on him:


Moses’ release from the Washington Commanders this past offseason was one of the more surprising moves around the league. To Washington’s credit, second-round rookie right tackle Samuel Cosmi has had a great debut season when healthy. Moses ended up with the New York Jets on a one-year, $3.6 million deal and turned in another solid season grading above 65.0 as a run- and pass-blocker while rarely missing a snap. A stronger market should land Moses another multi-year deal for a good bit more than $3.6 million per year.


Strengths:
– Durability
– Positive blocks in the run game
Weaknesses:
– Pad level
– Average pass-blocker

Scheme Fit/Role:
STARTING RIGHT TACKLE: Moses is a durable player who has been consistently solid since taking over as a starter in 2015.

Recent Injury History:
Moses has been one of the most durable players in the league. He has not missed a game since 2015.

Contract Projection: Three years, $22.5 million ($7.5M per year, $14.5M total guaranteed)

Bottom Line:
Moses will be heading into his ninth NFL season in 2022, and he's been one of the most dependable right tackles in the league in his career. He brings value to the run game and is reasonable in pass protection, making him a valuable starting option for teams in need of a right tackle.
