Cap figures update

About comments concerning the number of free agents we have:

 

There are 2 ways to look at that---first, you get out of some contracts and have the opportunity to upgrade.  Of the 21 free agents we have, I am guessing we re-sign about 9 or so.  The downside is you are losing 21 players from a 12-4 team--but how many parts are not replacable?  We will probably retain six of the front 7 and sign our QB.  What part of the rest is not upgradeable?

 

If we had 10 free agents and about 45 escalating contracts, we could be in a worse situation.

 

I think Gettlemen did a hell of a job in the undrafted free agent market last year--Lester, Horton, and White played regularly.  We are not used to that kind of bottom feeding here.  Those are cheap contracts.

Everyone will hate to hear this but I can see them keeping Godfrey if he's recovered from his injury.  He's getting 5 million next year if he stays or if he goes.  If he stays add 2 million to that and if he goes we save 2 million in cap space.  

 

We're probably not resigning Quintin and 2 million is a little bit below the average starting safety in the NFL.  Even if you're good with Lester (which I'm not) you'll still need another body which will cost us so why not just keep C-God.  He's not as horrible as everyone says.  Would you rather have Nakamura back?

 

I don't see how they can afford to keep the Kracken but I'm hoping Gettlemen can do some type of sign and trade.

I was looking at this too today, and I'm in agreement with you. I like our situation with him. The reason so many people write him of, me included, is because he really is the easiest to cut, we have proven we can win without him and he provides the biggest savings. I still want to re-sign Mitchell. That would be a great safety duo.
