Good OL will cost $7+ mill each.
Great OL will cost $10+ mill each.

I do expect Hill to be $7+ mill too. Ogunjobi maybe given his injury, but for sure above that if he didn't have the injury.

I'm worried Uzomah could end up going $7-8 mill. I wouldn't pay him that much though.

Bates should be $12.9 mill minimum (franchise tag).

3 new OL = $20+ mill
Starting DT = $7+ mill
Bates = $13 mill
Uzomah = $7+ mill (although I'd only go to $6mill)
------------------------------
$47+ mill

Then you add the following open positions:
Backup DT
CB4
CB5
CB6?
Backup safety
WR4
WR5
LB5
Additional depth pass rusher?

Vet minimum is just under $1 mill, so theoretically you're looking at another $8-10 mill for those backup positions.

If you make cuts, that's another position you have to fill.

I personally think only cutting Waynes will make it tight on the budget and will require some finagling to fit people in.
Moving on from one more player (Hopkins and/or Boyd) or not retaining the most expensive guy which is Bates should help make the budget easier to work with.

Jelani Woods in the 3rd/4th Dude made some money yesterday!!
