Couple of things stand out here:
-Tamba is gone.
-No way in hell is DJ playing for $10.25 million.
-Dee Ford has no dead money unless his back is ****ed.
-No way should Allen Bailey play for an $8 million cap hit.
-Ron Parker’s value deal is over. $7 million cap hit is way too high for him.
-Revis will be decided in March. Doubt he’s back.
-Dirty Dan is $4.8 million to our cap. Holy shit.
There should be some cuts/restructures coming. I think we might see a lot of new faces on defense next year. |
Q
Cut:
$8.7 million = Ford
$8 million = DJ
$8 million = Hali
$5 million = Parker
$4.5 million = Reavis
$5.95 million = Tardif
Trade:
$17 million = Smith
Cut players = $40.15 Million
Smith = $17 million
Current cap room = $4.8 million
2018 Total cap savings and room = $61.95 Million
Plan:
- Trade Smith for whatever we can get in draft picks. Use those picks to get the best defensive players available.
- Use our cap room to buy the best defensive help available
- Use our 2nd rounder on defense
- Use our 3rd rounder on the O-line
- 4-7 best defense or O-line available
