^Based on the above scratch math, it seems to me we could indeed squeeze Julio Jones $15m contract in if we restructured Mathieu. People forget we were trying to pay Trent Williams $20m annually and were in on JuJu!
Next year Julio's contract goes down to $11m and say Hitchens comes off our books, we franchise tag Orlando, and we're still good.
A Frank Clark cut is probably not available until 2023 due to his dead money, but we wouldn't need to cut him to make it work and maybe he restructures as well by then.
