Damn, now I am trying to remember where I read this. It was relatively early in the preseason.... This is not it, but this also mentions it even further back.

"Actually, their focus right now is trying to get extensions with both cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and right guard Kevin Zeitler before May 4. That’s when they have to decide if they place a fifth-year option on them. That would cost them $8 million for Kirkpatrick and $6 million for Zeitler next year, so they have to get those cap numbers down and that’s a big priority at the moment."
Can't find the article itself, I think it was from one of the local sports writers back in like March or April.
