If you take AJ and Ross' salaries off the books, you'll come up with a number very close to 43 mil in potential spending.

Add in a Carlos Dunlap release or trade, and we'll have roughly 55 mil to spend elsewhere.

I am very confused. A lot of guys you mentioned are not under contract so would not come off the books like AJ Green, Ross and others.

They are already off the books for 2021 unless we re-sign them.

AJ will net us a 3rd round pick most likely if we don't trade him this year, so we need to get at least a 3rd round pick and lose his salary this year or no need to trade him. AJ may also pick it up, he was out of football a long time.

Ross has major work to do or he needs to be gone.

Price same as Ross.

I thought we should have traded Dunlap and Geno last year, so I think if we go 2-6, we should do a major dump of vets (salary and hopefully draft picks for 2021 and maybe even 2022.
