Cutting Rhodes, Joseph, Reiff, and Griffen lops about $40 million off the top. I would start there. Convert Cousins' current salary to bonus and extend him four years and you've added another chunk. Resigning Harris is a must, Cook extension and resigning of Waynes seem likely.

OL, OL, OL. A fast WR.

Pro personnel scouting needs to have been on point; we need to find diamonds in the rough.

I like Watts, Udoh, and Hollins WR.....we have some pieces not used much that showed something against Chicago in last game.

Offseason dreamin' plan 1

starting $-5 million salary cap

Cut:

Rhodes: 8 million gain
Reiff 9 million gain
Linval 10 million gain

Restructure

Griff: 6 million gain


Trade:

Cousins 31 million gain and 3rd and 4th round pick


60 millionish to spend

SIGN

TEDDY! 24 million
Sherff 12 million
Harris 10 million

Pierce DT (BAL) 5 million

9 million left for Weatherly?, Mac Alexander, I wouldnt mind Waynes, but I think someone overpays for him

(i think we might have another 3rd comp pick, too, not sure)

1st round OL
2nd round CB
3rd round WR
3rd round DT
4th round OL
4th round DE

Cousins has a no trade clause.

true, but clauses can be waived

Sure, but it severely limits where we can trade him - if at all.

agree, thats why i did not put a very high draft compensation for him


by most accounts, he was a legit top 5 QB this year, getting a 3rd/4th seems reasonable

there are several FAQBs this year, too which may reduce the price of a rental

If we clear up $40 million and with signing bonuses we can sign pretty much anyone we want as signing bonuses are spread out....we don't need to clear $60 million.....plus the cap will increase.

It is probably the best case scenario for the guys we want to cut or re-structure(except Griffen). They all struggled and were detriments to the team(Rhodes, Reiff, Linval).

Use that money on a top notch Guard and DT.

Why would we trade a top 5 QB for a 3rd and 4th round pick. No way in hell.

I'm grateful for the internet to find articles to read during the off-season. When I was younger I used look for sports sections and be frustrated with how little there was to read.

Back in the day, missed the actual game (NFL, NBA) during the off-season but never felt there was a void in written coverage. Also, articles were written by some of the greats. A good Borg v McEnroe article was worth 20 of these rubbish 'articles' nowadays.

Borg was a great athlete, but I found his game uninteresting. McEnroe was the ultimate artist of the game.

Borg was great technician, with Terminator like persistence.
