Pastor Dillon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Its still 6 weeks or so away, but I think we can expect some big spending in 2023. We have cap room and we dont have anyone due for a crazy extension anytime soon. Right now we are sitting at about 37 million in cap space. We can free up a lot more in a variety of ways Trading Cooks gives us an extra 16 million. This is gonna be difficult unless he agrees to restructure his deal Cutting Collins gives us 4 million Kirksey gives us 5 million Hughes gives us 4 million Those 3 cuts alone would free up the space to sign a legit starter on defense. Tunsil can be cut for a savings of 18 million, but then we have a massive hole at LT. He's wanting to redo his deal, so we could perhaps give him a bigger longer deal that will save us money in the short term. We can afford this if we are going the rookie QB route. We are in need at WR, but if cooks decides to stay and is motivated to play under a new staff and QB and Metchie can live up to his potential post cancer treatments. We could have a decent WR group, especially if we took one at 12 or 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think we’ve gotten way too excited about the Ryans hire. We are gonna be a 5-7 win team next year. Our roster is a mess. Ryans has no experience. Our OC has never been an OC before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our roster is a mess. Ryans has no experience. Our OC has never been an OC before. It can't be worse than the past two years which is why we're excited. Our roster is a mess, but we have a ton of draft capital plus the 4th most cap room with FA coming up. The AFC South is still a winnable division. DeMeco might not have experience, but he's one of the best, young coaches in the game. We have hope and a cognitive, long-term plan for the first time in awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one would expect for a team with ratings this high, 97% of the locker room believes the McNairs are willing to invest money into upgrading the facilities." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
