They have a way to go to be cap compliant so I expect there to be some more releases. He would seem a likely candidate. 

How likely do you think a Flowers restructure is?

lol i just asked that two above. Slim said no. I think Trey should be at 15/16 rather then 20/22 range. Realistically I dont want him at all.

Great question. I'm pretty terrible at this cap stuff, but, looking at his contract on spotrac.com, he has a $19.9M cap hit for the 2021 season. It seems that a restructuring of his contract would open up a ton of space.

I’m interested in how they approach things. Williams is likely next up to be released. Then the interesting moves happen.

I said no to restructuring Big V.  I don't want to have to deal with him longer than we have to so restructuring might not be the best option.  Flowers on the other hand could be because I think he will earn his money.  If not, restructuring him hurts us longer.

Williams has to be next.  Then I have heard they are trying to trade Chase Daniels, which would open up some more room.  

Over The Cap shows us already being under the cap and they still have Trufant on the roster.  We will need room for the rookies so have to clear some out but we are not in a spot where we have to do anything dramatic after this.

It’s not critical but they are tight. I think they had about 4 million in space prior to anything that happened today.
