The first year is a bit treacherous but I think you make these moves:
Cut RB Mark Ingram, S Malcolm Jenkins, S J.T. Gray, CB Bradley Roby, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon,
Restructure QB Taysom Hill, OG Andrus Peat, OT Ryan Ramczyk, CB Marshon Lattimore, WR Michael Thomas
Trade RB Alvin Kamara, DE Marcus Davenport
Puts you at about $15 million in space after signing ERFAs.
Run it tight up to $0 and fill in with low-priced FAs wherever you can.
Cut June 1 DE Cameron Jordan
Adds $15 million in space post June 1 so you can sign the draft class, pick up a couple late FAs and have money for the season.
Leaves you about $40 m under next year with only OC Eric McCoy and WR Marquez Calloway (RFA) as bigger tickets to re-sign.
They can be fine, but its going to be some work to get 5 guys restructured (could trade Lattimore but that's epic stupid).
