Give Poe a contract like Damon Harrison got last year. 5 year 46 million. 9.25 mil a year
Jabaal Sheard gets a raise from his last contract. 3 year 21 million 7 mil a year
Kiko alonso gets a contract in line with some of the highest paid MLBs. 4 year 32 million. 8 mil a year
kaptain kirk gets the franchise tag while we try to work out a long term deal. 14 mil
zeitler gets his top 5 guard money 5 year 43.75mil. 8.75 mil a year
whit gets a one year deal equal to zeitler so he doesnt get butt hurt 8.75 mil

and the new contracts come in at 55.75 million a year.

So by rough estimates it could work. Cutting Vincent Rey, Sims, and finding a punter that doesnt cost over 3 million a year would give us some cushion under the cap like we are used to.

Problem is we always roll 10-12 million over for extensions/rookie contracts.
