bucsfan333 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Kwon Alexander, Ali Marpet, and Donovan Smith are all up for (what will be) $10M+ extensions. According to OTC we have a little more than $14M in cap space for this season and just a smidge more over $14M in cap space next season. How do we do it? What do you think? Do we let someone walk? Do we make some key cuts/trades? How would YOU do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gholston cut saves 6M Grimes retires saves $8M Fitzpatrick retires saves $3.3 Marpet gets around 11-12 per season Offer Kwon a 9.5 per season Use whatever cap space to get Don Smith locked up. He won’t break the bank as he doesn’t have any accolades thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kalil has been a swing door since his rookie year and Carolina just gave him $11M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the franchise tag to hold him over. But, yeah. He's looking at a (potential) extension too. But I'm assuming he's taken care of for the time being.

kgarrett12486 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Like what @indifference had in regards to cuts/retires. That will help tremendously. I think the draft will be key too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sryan66611 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 For some reason I think they let kwon go pay everyone else. I think d Smith gets a contract similar to Jake matthews prolly a little less. Mapet I would assume gets something like Jensen just got depending on this new switch. No idea what happens with jameis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what happens with jameis Unless we’re going to clearly upgrade from Donovan smith, I’d hold on to him. Smith has been solid and plays his best against better pass rushers. The pressures and sacks he gives up, most are on the ball being held on too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDandPEWTER Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Call me crazy but I’d lock up marpet and smith before Kwon. He still misses tackles and he’s not an elite MLB. His position is replaceable and easier to fill than say a very good LT and LG. I’d rather risk losing Kwon than the other two guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beckwith continues to improve, that's definitely an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
