You just raised the cap by 14 million and you want me to take a paycut even though we have enough to sign everyone here?  That might be a hard sale.

He'll end up making less money by being cut.

At least from us.

Considering he's been playing like he's all used up, the ideal situation would be to cut him for cap relief and then to see the Falcan'ts sign him for $10+ million.  :P

I agree that more cap for the league overall will average out what we can actually do with the money.  But the fact that we get this much room with new contracts coming up, helps us to be in on the low-end of that average.  That's what will help this team the most.  We can leverage the new cap space more effectively if we can get some contracts out of the way and dead money off of the books at the outset.

There's rather major argument against the theory that it "all evens out".

Basically, some guys know what they're doing. Some guys don't.

Some GM's will blow huge stacks of cash within the first 24 hours of free agency. These same guys will likely be back to do the same thing next year and everybody associated will sit and wonder why their teams aren't winning.

Others will shop smart and spend wisely.

And that makes all the difference.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
