That's not going to get a FA LT.

Our draft picks will be cheap.  We only have one that will cost anything.  The others will just replace guys already making the minimum.

Also depends on how you structure the contract.

Offer 2-year, 30m with a 14m signing bonus and 1m salary in year 1.  He gets 15m in cash in year 1, but salary cap hit is only 8m.  Year two, his salary is 15m.  You can keep him and the total cap hit is 22m, or cut him and the dead cap hit is 7m and you save 15m.

Not a fan of backloaded contracts.

Me neither, but it happens.

It's also often true that the longer free agency goes, the cheaper available guys get.

We have enough space to get who we want. It’s if they want to is the real question

They need to use some of that money to go sign Arden Key.
