That’s what I’m thinking. This is a bad year to be a free agent or a high priced veteran.

If a sure fire LT isn’t available in the draft I hope we can sign Alejandro Villanueva away from the Steelers.

The first to go will be dead weight not performing up to their contract. Next will be rookies/projects likely not performing. Then the decent FA's will be let go. A good LT is very valuable though, so I would see them being one of the last to be let go. Also there are a few teams with a lot of space. Jets, Jaguars, WFT, pats, Bengals, they will be signing people.

First number is their current number over the cap, second number is their projected cap space once they sign 51 players. These teams are all over the cap in millions, also the Bills will go over once they hit 51 players. Our projected cap space is 51 million after signing 51 players. That 20 million of projected cap space is really going to fuck with things bc a lot of teams were counting on it.

• Bears ($89,572) ($10,649,572)
• Raiders ($7,622,096) ($15,542,096)
• Vikings ($9,105,171) ($11,085,171)
• Chiefs ($13,627,129) ($23,527,129)
• Texans ($17,886,275) ($17,886,275)
• Steelers ($21,009,219) ($31,569,219)
• Rams ($22,053,472) ($26,013,472)
• Packers ($22,220,619) ($28,160,619)
• Falcons ($24,394,641) ($37,594,641)
• Eagles ($51,663,371) ($51,663,371)
• Saints ($95,050,739) ($99,010,739)

Looks like a good time to have saved a few cap dollars. Some of these teams will lose players they are considering as part of their core.
