-Come out aggressive early in the tampering window and sign Dalton Schultz and also one of Hunter Henry/Noah Fant/Gerald Everett.
-Re-sign Awuzie as you're going to need 3 outside CBs anyway, and this prevents adding yet another young DB. Should be better >12 months from ACL.
-Exercise your ERFA claim on Browning.
-Re-sign Cal Adomitis.
-Re-sign 2 of ADG, Markus Bailey, and Joe Bachie for special teams, have a 7th round/priority UDFA type guy fill the 5th LB STer role for rookie minimum.
-Re-sign Trenton Irwin as long as it's cheap.
-Re-sign Drew Sample on a deal where you wouldn't feel bad cutting him if a 5th-ish-round rookie TE impresses in preseason.
-Release Joe Mixon and Nick Scott.
Now you really only need a RT, a RB1, a WR2, a NT, and a P from the draft. Roughly in that order of draft rounds (P probably in 6th if there's one worth it you get a TE in the 5th).
Makes sense.
Adomitas is also an ERFA, under 1M & cant negotiate with other teams.
Irwin is a RFA, 2.8M qualifying offer, 1st right of refusal, if another team signs him to a higher deal we get a comp pick.
