RT.....$10 million
OG.....$ 5 million
OC.....$ 3 million (Only if they release Hopkins... $9 million minus $6 million cap savings)
TE.....$ 7 million (May mean we lose CJ....toughest decision for me. Just not worth more with our top 3 WRs))
DT.....$ 8 million (for 2 players) This will be our biggest drop in talent level, but we have to save some money somewhere.
CB.....$ 7 million
CB.....$ 3 million
That is $43 million "average yearly". Even without any huge signing bonuses we should be able to work those contract in at $35 million in cap space.
I think $10 million will cover the draft and the other players we have to sign to fill the roster.
Then draft BPA. Maybe if we have to we could sign one of our free agents to a one-year deal then draft that position in the first two rounds.
You gave numbers, but not players. WHO are you signing for those amounts? I too can say "sign a $Xm CB" but that player needs to exist. Preferably using sources that is the premise of the thread, which even includes 1st year cap hits already.
