Yep. I'd like to amend my initial list and say Onwenu is at least a triple or a double.
A FA haul of:
1. Higgins, WR ($21 mil, $44 mil left)
2. Onwenu, RT/G ($15 mil, $29 mil left)
3. Reader DT/NT ($10 mil in Y1, $19 mil left)
4. L. Williams DT/DL ($13 mil, $6 mil left)
5. Townsend P ($3 mil, $3 mil left)
We can do some restructuring (Burrow, Cappa, Karras, Hilton, BJ Hill, Mixon) or cilutting (Mixon, Scott, Carman) to free up enough to sign a value FA S to pair with Battle & move Dax back to corner.
The draft focus would then be:
1. TE (Bowers, Sanders, Stover, Rd 1-3)
2. Shutdown CB (Arnold, Mitchell, DeJean)
3. DT/NT (Murphy, Newton, Sweat, Jackson)
4. WR (Thomas Rd1, Rd2-3: Corley, Legette, Wilson, Mitchell, Franklin, Pearsall, etc).
Later on: RB, IOL depth, LB + whatever we miss out on Day 1-2 of the first 4.
EDIT: the Pats have a ton of cap room and their GM justcsaid he wants to keep Onwenu & Duggar. A tag is on the table for either.
