Cut Geno = 9.5 million
Cut Gio = 4.1 million
Cut Price = 2.1 million
Cut Hopkins (Linsley replaced him0 = 4.3 million
Cut Uzomah - 5.2 million

I have not even mentioned Hart and those 5 guys would get us Thuney and Linsley if contracts were structured properly and each 4 year deals with large bonuses paid upfront so the bonus portion could be spread over 4 years reducing the 2021 cap hit for each

Thuney - 4 years 52 million, but 20 million paid in bonus in 2021 = 5 million cap hit for 4 years, then remaining 32 million in salary paid as follows:
2021 - 4 million guaranteed (so 9 million cap hit for 2021)
2022 - 6 million (guaranteed (so 10 million cap hit)
2023 - 10 million - 2 million guaranteed (so 15 million cap hit, but an out of saving 8 million if not playing well)
2024 - 12 million - no guarantees so 17 million cap hit or savings of 12 million if cut or traded

Do similar with Linsley as he is only 30 years old and Thuney is 29 I think. This is what creative GM's do.

Oh and we still have 34 million left after draft picks class signed to go after others in FA
