Free agency bro
Players gotta get paid
here is how I look at every draft
If we have 7 picks:
1 should be a instant starter
3 contributors/future starters
2 projects
1 bust or won’t make team
ESPN.com: NFL - Drafted players don't stick around
Please read this article. It’s the best I can find that explains why draft picks don’t stick around. This isn’t new and isn’t a problem for JRob. NFL teams start turning over every 5 years.
The average career for an NFL player, THE AVERAGE is 3.3 years.
It’s cool to have an opinion, we all do and most of us are wrong. But at least try and have one that has some foundation in fact or knowledge.
So Duprees cap hit is a little over $5 million. So that puts us at around $18.5 million minus whatever Jenkins cost (still unknown).
Also have to subtract Jayon, Sambrailo, Firkser, and Johnson.
Draft picks will also equal about $9.5 million.
Yeah, we have plenty of room for 2 more contracts like Dupree's. I don't think we will do that though. Maybe one more significant signing and then draft the rest.
And we can restructure Sadfold to free up 8.5. Not the we will, but we could. Also, draft picks would cost 9.5 only if we add all of them to the week 1 roster and don't lose any other contracts. Probably net or 3 or 4 mil actually
Spotrac has us at $13.1M with Dupree and Jayon’s updated contracts.
We usually keep most of the draft picks on the roster. Except for probably our 7th rounders.
Yes, but this year may be a bit different with the cap crunch. If we sign other guys, then we will cut guys. If not, we will keep. Either way, it is work-able
that's key, if Saff will restructure... we are in GREAT SHAPE... need 9-10M for draft picks and if we can grab Kenny G or TY, i think we can draft CB in first rd of draft and head into next season better and upgraded overall
Phenomenal
This comes from the NFLPA published today- $28 mil in cap room

28 million? Any interest in CB Nelson?, released by Steelers
CB Nelson asks for, granted release by Steelers
CB Nelson asks for, granted release by Steelers
That can’t be right. All those numbers look way too high.
yeah i think that's innacurate.... wait, we have 18M in dead cap so I think that is right... just need to subtract the 18M in dead cap...
Leaves us with 10M, and 9.5M needed for draft picks... basically we are broke unless Saffold or Tanny restructure
We don't need 9.5 for draft picks. More like 4-5 million once the bottom numbers of the top 51 contacts fall off.
Saw a tweet that said that doesn't include the people we have signed. We have 65 under contract and that was worth only like 54 or so.
