What to do with remaining cap room?

Yep. This roster is getting close enough where with the right new HC, we should be able to pay a legit vet QB to come here if Corral ends up not working out

Yep, our cap situation for 2023 SUCKS!  At this point, the 2022 roster is what it is.  Adding another player or two isn't going to tip the scales to make us dramatically better.

Would be the most optimal.  Can realistically get approved to roll $10-12 mil, not the whole ~24ish mil we'll have post-draft signings.  So, we do still have 10-15 mil to work with (they'll probably want a slight buffer)  

Already set to have nearly $30 mil to spend and much less dead cap next year, could be looking at $40+ mil 2023 with Moore already re-signed.  Burns' contract will be a good chunk.

We clearly cleared 30 million in order to absorb a possible Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo acquisition. Since that’s not happening we simply save it for next season 

League approves rollovers the day after the final regular season games so it will be fully dependent on who becomes available/how the cut season shakes out.  But yep, if no Jimmy or Baker, we'll likely be looking at a lot of rollover.

yes but we can get a lot of money by cutting under performers - Robby, Shaq, Elfein and others

You can pretty much mark Elf and Wilson off the list (that's 13.5 mil with not a lot of dead cap)

Robbie would be 21 mil savings, 9 mil dead cap (that's + another 11 mil)

Let's be conservative and say we rollover $12 mil

I also like Haynes but he's a virtually no dead cap next season, that's $3.5 mil savings cut

That's already $40 mil obvious non-Sal magic savings (and then the big looming question if we take the "out" on CMC's contract)

Cap has become so fluid and strategic, they'll figure it out.

Re-sign Burns, front load the deal, help our future cap out.  We used to have a ton of space next season. After restructures in the Watson push, re-signing DJ, etc., we're now over the cap for next season already. 

Just because we have it, doesn't mean to spend it to improve our mediocrity.
