We need to clear some cap room.

Peppers will be franchised which will take up all the cap room we have and then some. Then we need to re sign Gross and have 4+ million just to sign draft picks.

So who gets re structured and who gets cut? Delhomme MUST get re structured or cut one way or the other but I think that only frees up about 6 million, still need more. So who gets the axe?

Note: as soon as peppers signs with another team we get that cap room back but we still need room to franchise him and sign free agents.

Alright, Pep is franchised.

Pep is traded to raiders for 1st and 3rd round pick.

We draft Aaron Maybin or Brian Orakpo. If Stafford slips to us, consider taking him.

Gross is resigned. Offensive line is still beastly then.

With Pep gone, cap room allows us to pick up a free agent like, Nhamdi Asomugha.

Defense looks like:

LE: Charles Johnson/Tyler Brayton

DT: Maake Kemeoatu

DT: Damione Lewis

RE: Aaron Maybin/Brian Orakpo

ROLB: Thomas Davis

MLB: Jon Beason

LOLB: Nai'll Diggs

CB: Nhamdi Asomugha

FS: Charles Godfrey

SS: Chris Harris

CB: Chris Gamble

NB: Richard Marshall

I don't think a franchised player's projected salary counts against the cap until he actually signs the offer sheet. He could reject the tag, not play and not get paid. Therefore, no cap hit until he accepts the tag.

we have 10 million in cap before pep and gross. Just to sign pep to a franchise tag we would have to cut lucas (nearly 10 million cap hit next season) Restructure Delhomme, cut landon johnson, hackett. Sign Gross and then trade pep, use our extra money on a de or dt in FA and a couple of mid to low tier guys then draft who ever we don't pick up in FA.

Cowboys traded a 1st, 3rd and 6th for Roy Williams.. KC got a 1 and two #3's for Jared Allen.. Expecting a 1st and 3rd for Peppers is realistic..

I agree and think it will be a HIGH first as well which bodes well. Depending on who is there I trade down, still get a DE I want and pick up more draft picks.

That sounds like a plan to me!

    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
