As of right now we are 43 million under the salary cap for 2023, with a total of 41 players under contract. So with that:
Key Free Agents:
1) Jesse Bates- His stock went down this year, but we have already prepared for his departure. (Dax Hill)
2) Vonn Bell- I think we re-sign V. Bell
3) Eli Apple- I also think we re-sign him as he wont command large money, but this one is 50/50 as we are set with Awozie/CTB/Hilton as starters but he is a nice #4.
4) Hayden Hurst- I also think we re-sign Hurst
5) Germaine Pratt- I think we will extend Logan Wilson and let Pratt walk we have (ADG)
6) Tre Flowers- I think we re-sign him he's not going to break the bank.
7) Samaji Perine - he will be re-signed
Possible cuts: (3.5m savings possibilities)
1) Brandon Wilson- no doubt savings of 2 million
2) Josh Topou- 50/50 cap hit is 1.5, but we have Teufele to replace him, and draft another DL
Extentions:
1) Joe Burrow
2) Logan Wilson
3) Tee Higgins
-I look for us to focus more on keeping our core together this offseason and looking to plug areas of concern to upcoming contract expiration dates.
Draft: ( quick 5 rd mock)
1) Isaiah Foksey- DE (ND) 6'5 265 gives us additional DE depth
2) Jaelyn Duncan- OT (Maryland) 6'6 330 gives us a future anchor on the ROT
3) Emmanuel Forbes -CB (Miss. ST) 6'0 180 gives us an additional CB to groom on dime packages
4) Jarratt Patterson-G (ND) 6'4 310 can play G/C gives us solid interior depth.
5) Ventrell Miller- LB ( Florida) 6'0 225 additional LB depth to replace Pratt.
