A Burrow restructure can add $19 mil.
If we start cutting guys like Rankins, Cappa, Hubbard, Moss, & Volson. That's another $30 mil.
Call it $90 mil.
Say Tee is $25 cap hit. All Chase & Trey will add is pro-rated signing bonus, say $10 for Chase & $5 for Trey. That's $40.
We'd still have $50 mil (or so) for Gesicki, Hilton/Hill, and more outside FA's (G, DT, DE, maybe TE/WR, S).
Draft whatever we whiff on/still need.
We only have 2 DTs under contract. Need 2-3 there.
Sounds about right to me and that is plenty to get what we need done as Burrow says. The thing about cutting Rankins namely as
that whoever we bring in that does anything positive is an upgrade. What a disappointing signing that was? Thought he would of at
least brought some pass rush to the table, but nada?
Cappa really fell off and some say that is because of injury, we will see. We know Hubbard has been playing with injury. Moss didn't
even bring good pass pro here last year. Volson sucks, cut him.
Build around the core players in Joe, Ja'Marr, Tee, Mike G and Trey and you could have worse players to build around I would think.
