They could just turn to the draft and think Volson and Ford are their vets.
It’d be nice to sign a quality starter but I’m thinking it’ll be bargain players.
Hope I’m wrong and they sign one.
I wonder what Zeitler would cost? He is a short term solution and would not be playing next to Sewell here, but still.
Define big? Cappa was making over $10 mil. I doubt we spend $20. But $12? $15? Maybe.
If we keep Hendrickson I think a mild spend on a DE (Smith sounds fine, Ossai, Young) + a pick would do it.
The FA TE class stinks and we brought Gesicki back. We don't need a starting QB, OT, RB, or C. With Pratt & Stone still here, a big FA spend on LB or S seems unlikely.
CB or DT maybe? But a high DT pick gets us to 4. And we are not in dire need at CB: CTB, Turner, Hill + Newton/Ivey.
For me, at least one bigg-ish spend on a G is where the most $$ should go. We have upwards of $30 mil. More if Tee/Chase deals get done & we release Moss. A Burrow restructure would mean a lot more.
