Don't forget you have to set aside some for draftees.

Possible there will also be other moves on our part to clear more cap.

Yup. That's 7-9 mil. Still, being in the top 1/3rd of the league space wise should help compared to most years if we start to do this right.

It will be more like 2 or 3 million.  Remember only the top 51 players count towards the cap in the offseason.  So when you add one guy for 4 million another guy that cost 700 or 800,000 comes off the cap.  Means that that guy that has a 4 million cap charge really only cost you 3.2 million against the cap.

We could get some good players at cheaper prices due to the lower cap. Hope we concentrate on OL, S and a slot WR. 

I agree with oline but I'd add tight end as well I think we can get a slot receiver in draft later rounds and a safety too

Add Lions corner Desmond Trufant to the list. He's been informed by the team that he's going to be released. Trufant is 30, if you're wondering.

Others up to this point...

Dolphins LB Kyle Van Noy
Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph
Saints TE Jared Cook
Giants WR Golden Tate
Bears CB Buster Skrine
Saints TE Josh Hill
Jets DT Henry Anderson
Giants LB David Mayo

It's certainly the season for it, but the general expectation is that we're probably going to see more of these than usual, especially if the prediction that was given to Russini is true.

Zeitler?

I like Zeitler a lot, but I am not sure we can afford him, even with the year being the way it is.  He's above average to me . . . he's not quite at that Pro Bowl, All Pro level, but he's awful close.  One of the least penalized IOL you'll ever want to see.

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
