30 FAs in 30 Days: Carl Nicks

[whoman69]

If we sign Nicks, anyone know the cap hit to cut Lilja?

I foresee the general populace in this series stating we should take every player listed. A lot have been talking about Soliai already. There are certainly positions where we can and should upgrade. We certainly had poor interior protection last year. Can't say if that was on Lilja or if he was trying to cover for other weaknesses on the line. I'd say in order of importance it would be QB, NT, RT, ILB, depth at S and o-line. The problem with signing expensive FAs is that even if you can front load them like we would need for this year, down the line you still have an expensive player at that position that could lead to future cap issues. Drafting and signing your own players seems to be our strategy now and is more fiscally sound. CP always had us in cap hell because he couldn't draft to save his life.
