So what does Gettleman do with this money?

With the freed up cap space, how does he spend?

There is a couple of Safety's on the market that may be serviceable and affordable. Walter Thurmond, Donte Whitner and Dashon Goldson.

Will Getlleman revive some players with new scenery much like he did Ted Ginn Jr.?

One name that looks like he could fit here is Henry Melton. You may remember him a few seasons ago, playing for Chicage and blowing up offense lines much like KK does now. 

So what do you think? Are you expecting Gettleman to invest in the bargain bin again this year? He has been sticking to his formula of not overpaying, making the tough cuts, and then signing a vet that seems to have his best years behind him only to have a very respectable season here.

Here is where I got the list of free agents: http://nfltraderumors.co/top-25-2016-nfl-free-agents-list/

We don't have the money to spend like some of y'all think.  Short will conmand at least 15 million a year, Star probably anywhere from 7-10 a year.  All of a sudden that 35 million is now 10 million.  Then we still have to sign Turner and Norwell.

He's talking about this year. Star is still under contract for two years,  his number will not change. KK's will probably only change by a prorated amount of his signing bonus,  his base will likely stay the same with the extension starting in 2017. Of,  course Gettleman will probably roll some cap space forward but again,  Star's number probably won't change significantly until 2018.

Also,  are we sure about it being $35 million? Both Spotrac and Over the Cap,  show closer to $31 million.

What are the rules about rolling over cap space? That seems the most likely scenario given thatGettleman likes to draft then develop and retain players rather than sign them drone somewhere else. I'd like star Kk and Luke to stay on the same defense for the next four years more than anything else.

That's a lot. Didn't realize Kalil was in his final year. He could be done after this year,  that whole age vs cost thing. That will be interesting to watch.

He will plan on rolling some over to next season to have a safety net.

He will try to get KK signed to an extension.

He will sign the rookie draft class.

He will probably try to pick up players that will fall out after June 1 cuts are available.

He will keep a little extra on the side for injuries and bringing in players like we did with Finnegan late last season.

People also need to show the same love for Trai, Norwell, & Cam. That side of the ball is just as important.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
