How cheap is Manning going to come to allow us to go after a top tier FA NT?
Resigning Bowe and Carr is going to eat into that $30mil cap because they are both going to get hefty raises. If Bowe gets franchised then he's going to get ~10mil more. If Carr gets resigned to an equal to, or more than, Flowers' deal then he's going to get ~6mil+. So that $16mil right there, not including the extra couple hundred thousand that players are going to get that are already signed. Then you have to re-sign Belcher, Gilberry, McClain(?) and... Palko, j/k.
IMO, if we go after Manning, we have to target a NT in the first 2 rounds. I don't think we'll have the money to go after a FA NT.
C, imo, is a luxury pick right now. Hudson was drafted and projected as a NFL C. We can get a good G later in the draft.
