Wonder who were going to overpay for Well, it's not too too much if the team doesn't plan on cutting Whitehead or Nelson. They would have combined to add more than $10 million to next year's cap. It's still a lot though, like $85 million in cap space. Edited December 29, 2018 by Rich7sena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitehead and Jordy already got their bonus, so I'm pretty sure they is coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a move to say thanks to the veteran leaders of the team and maybe to show potential free agents that we do pay ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 We need to land 2 top tier free agents and 1-2 2nd tier. That's a successful free agency when coupled with draft. Get a DE/cb/lb/OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a successful free agency when coupled with draft. Get a DE/cb/lb/OT If we can land a starting wr, de, mlb and olb in fa i'd be very happy. Have lee, whitehead and morrow fight for the final lb spot. Add DE and 2 DBs in the 1st round. Preferably trading down and getting another 1st round pick for next year (and one 2nd this year).Assuming the picks work out we'd have a very decent defense. I'm hopefull we can get a RT out of our current guys and a journeyman fa. Use the 2nd,3rd and later round picks on bpa.

Melvin has been fine since week like 5.. lack of pass rush and safety help wasn't doing him any favors. Whitehead is fine if he is the second or third best lb. He can't be the guy.

They would have no impact on the 2019 cap if they are cut. It also buys us more time to decide if we want to keep them. We have no deadline to make a decision. They could have cut them without paying them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
