So, my question is this...what are they going to do with it?
There are basically three options, they could use it to continue to sure up the roster (sign a vet guard like Scherff), they could use it on an extension/raise (Trey), or they could roll it over to next year.
I'd find it very disheartening if they were to roll a bunch of cap space over in a Super Bowl window with so many holes on their roster, especially going into the draft. They could have used that money to fill holes which would have freed up the draft that much more.
Either way, let's hope they continue adding to the roster. There are still FAs out there that could really help this team.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they always roll over money, so that's a given. They probably give Trey a significant raise this year and give a mostly or fully guaranteed deal next year and little guarantee of a 3rd year. That's where our money is sitting IMO. Hopefully they earmark say 4M for one of the guards of safeties.
