Why Niang opting out really hurts us: 2021

Looking at the entire situation, its a fairly strong (or should be) tackle draft. I'd roll the dice and trade Fisher. Its far from my favorite move but its probably the most cap-friendly move. Move up in the 1st if needed to get a LT. I don't think Niang was brought in to be a LT, not sure he has enough but you never know.

Restructure/Extend Mathieu. I'd assume you can get him down around 11-12 and save 8-ish million.

Cut Okafor to save nearly 6.

Puts you about +18. Re-sign Ward. I'm sure you can get him around 6-8 in the first year of a 4 year deal.

Patch the roster with Vet min guys.

Draft class value seems high. That sounds more like the rookie pool than the effective cap after top-51 adjustment.
