If you need the cap space you can pivot and release a guy if not you keep him going into camp(you don’t know what kind of injuries can happen) and let things play out. Only free agents we probably have to negotiate with are Berrios and Fatukasi. I personally think Fatukasi ends up with the Chargers and Berrios returns on a 5M per deal(he basically takes Crowder’s contract number/role. But that's further playing into my point. Why would you let Foley walk over money when you have the ability to cut Rankins and save 5mill. AND Foley is a year younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it’s gonna be over money, again you can cut Rankins if you need to but I think Foley will go to a system that suits his skill set more than ours does, while also getting paid a nice contract.

doumeyer Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Bobby816 said: Why isn't cutting Rankins not being big time considered? Cutting him would save about 5mill. For me I'd rather us resign Foley who is a year younger and move JFM inside as well. Roll with Q, Foley, JFM and Marshall at DT. Get an edge to pair with Lawson in the draft hopefully. From a cap perspective... Cutting GVR and Griffin saves roughly 6.5mill. For me that's about what we should give Berrios. We cut Rankins and assume Foley will command about 8mill. Us cutting guys like Cashman, Nacua, Muffatt, Phillips, Aamia, etc. each save close to 1mill each. Making that we can in essence resign Berrios and Foley (even LDT for cheap) with just roster cuts. Still allowing us to have that 50mill figure to spend on outside FAs. Which in reality is more like 30-35mill to spend bc of all of our top picks in the draft. Still 35mill to spend after resigning our own FAs is still a good amount of cap. Ideally I'd like to see us attack TE, S and LB in FA. When you look at our roster, I agree with you, TE, S, LB is the way to go with the FA players. I still want to go offensive with our high first round picks. Unless one of the top pass rushers falls to four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWinsChampionships Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Dalton Schultz (TE) and Marcus Williams (FS). Would give us amazing draft flexibility. Edited February 15, 2022 by DefenseWinsChampionships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I think out the gate, we're going to sign a RG, TE, and a safety. I just don't see JD waiting until the draft to improve the oline if close to sure options are available. A good TE, but not someone good enough to stop them from drafting a TE. We went through a lot of safeties. That's an easy one to assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinsChampionships Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Allen Robinson is a veteran FA WR who I'd love to have heading into the draft. WR 1: Allen Robinson (FA). WR 2: Drake London (10th overall). Slot: Elijah Moore (who can ball out on the outside too while being able to line up all over the offense as an NFL X-Factor and NYJ Playmaker). WR 4: Corey Davis. ='s top 5 most talented WR unit within the entire NFL. WR 5: Denzel Mims (final opportunity to show his NFL worth).

Salary cap doesn’t matter right now, they don’t have to be under the cap yet. They’ll do some restructures and cuts. Schultz has no reason to leave Dallas and if they tag him then he’s pretty much stuck there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
