The offseason has begun, a must sign to free up the draft...

[samhain]

I don't think that they'll sign a single external free agent that's anything other than a dumpster dive c or d grade "piece". I'm thinking a Denarius Moore type that quite possibly doesn't even make the roster.

There have been cap space projections before potential cuts, and they seem to be in the 48-49 mil range. Hmm. Let's see here:

Andrew Whitworth: 10 mil per, down to 38 mil.

Dre K: 10 or 11 mil per, go high end with 11: 27 mil.

Brandon Lafell: 3.5 mil per. down to 23.5 mil.

Domata Peko gets 2 mil per. 21.5 mil left.

Ced Peerman gets a mil on a 1 year deal. 20.5 mil.

Margus Hunt get 3 mil per. 17.5 mil.

Burkhead get 3.5 mil per: 14 mil.

They'll need that 14 for rookies, injuries, recuperated hot dog costs. vagisil, re-signing Rey Maualuga to a 4 year extension, and some other shit that they'll make up.

No player currently under contract will be released IMO, although Rey M is the only one I'd honestly cut at this point. I think MJ, Pacman and V. Rey still have roles to play here.

Don't get excited about FA. It's only going to lead to a let down. Just pray they don't end up significantly worse than they were in 16. Or do if you want to see where rock bottom is, it doesn't matter.

EDIT: Forgot about Dansby. I'd boot his ass. too.
