How to play this off-season with free agency?

Does Pat's contract count against the cap this year or next if extended? I heard the new CBA might have a clause to make QB contracts separate. Any chance to restructure contracts or get discounts? I thought if we cut some people we can at least create a little space. But maybe that will still be used up just to re-sign people.

Yeah, I don't understand the Watkins situation. Whether he is trying to take a year off or get paid, doesn't sound like we can retain him. Probably not even trade in that case. But I guess we need to try to get as many picks as we can if that is our only method of improvement.
