Manage the cap game

Just playing around with a lot of potential moves, albeit it's not an exact science since the options are only cut or restructure...

 

Cut - Deangelo and DeCoud

 

Restructure (or extend in some cases) - CJ, Olsen, Kalil, Stewart. Extend the first two, maybe do nothing with Kalil, maybe restructure, and Stewart is tricky. I restructured him just to get his cap hit down, but we probably won't touch it in case we choose to cut him after 2015, when it begins to save us money IIRC.

 

 

Those moves bring us to 30.2 million in cap space, with 7.3 in dead money

 

 

 

Edit...didn't know it went to signing other players. Dammit.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
