All of these big contracts are either up, big paydays due, or it's the first year you could reasonably cut guys and absorb the cap hits.
We might well get ****ed on Berry, depending on this surgery business, although I have yet to see an official indication of the surgery.
Bailey's up, and was pricey. Sorensen was way overpaid but you can cut him June 1, Ford's gonna paid (but not by us, and we're going to get a decent pick) Houston's not going to get $21.1m. Looking at last year's draft and offseason, it literally looks like they were stacking up to make a change this offseason. I'm not saying they knew who the DC would be, but it would appear that they marked the spot in which a change could be done. Coupled with Andy's remarks about inside pressure being the key going forward. Get the new offense going with Mahomes in '18, flip the defense in '19.
