Talent Acquisition and Separation

Dazz Newsome is already gone, and so the wheel turns. They sign DB Ugo Amadi to replace him. Amadi is a former 4th round pick with a dozen starts on his resume. His skillset is srt of Tyrann Mathieu without the attitude.

On the subject of cap space, here is a list of potential unrestricted free agents, listed by contract amount. At over $16MM, Orlando Brown is making as much the next seven players combined. 

OT Orlando Brown Jr.
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
DE Carlos Dunlap
DT Derrick Nnadi
OT Andrew Wylie
QB Chad Henne
RB Ronald Jones
FB Michael Burton
TE Blake Bell
RB Jerick McKinnon
WR Mecole Hardman
OT Geron Christian
SAF Deon Bush
DT Taylor Stallworth
SAF Juan Thornhill
WR Justin Watson
DT Khalen Saunders
OL Nick Allegretti

Before making any moves, we're looking at ~20mil in cap space next year. It'll definitely be higher after cuts, extensions, and restructures though. But Brown getting franchise tagged again would be ~20mil alone. After that, that leaves us with $0 to sign 20+ players --  again, before any moves are made. Clark is an easy cut or possible extension with a massive pay cut. Jones could give us a lot more space with an extension. Thuney could be extended to lower his 22mil+ cap hit he has over the next 3 years; although he is already 29.

Out of the rest, the only guys I really see that should get paid 10mil+ is JuJu and maybe Thornhill. The rest should be fairly cheap cap hits.
