3) Mathieu extension (you can easily cut his 21 cap in half, even if he gets the same type of deal over 4-5 years that Budda Baker got)
4) Kelce restructure ($10M total between roster bonus and base salary)
In this FA market, i have a feeling $40M in 21 cap space can buy you a LOT. Even accounting for the need to hold about $6-7M back for draft picks.
Like maybe an upgrade at LT (Trent Williams) or an equivalent player to a healthy Fisher (Riley Reiff)
And an upgrade at C (Corey Linsley?)
And a defensive end to upgrade the pass rush (many options)

Yes.
Really want us to grab a vet TE too like a Cook, Everett, Burton, Rudolph or even a lesser player because even they would be an upgrade over what we had last year. We basically didn't have a #2 TE.
I think we'll go after a WR too but not a high priced one.
