[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 758953"] Agreed. If that's the way you feel then stop talking about renegotiations. Under your Hoodie approach, start with the $13.5 million effective cap space as illustrated in post #1 of this thread. Going all Belichick by cutting the 4 players in question (Matthews, Nelson, Cobb and Bulaga) buys you $36.3 million in cap savings, getting you right to the $50 million cap space mark. Hoodie's key to success has been his willingness and effectiveness in revamping his offensive scheme based on the availability of resources. He's had WR-centric offenses, balanced run/pass offenses, then as money got tight he transitioned to cheap slots to complement his TE with wideouts nobody can remember, while finding ways to win with an eroding defense. That approach is unique and you cannot expect to replicate it with a wave of the hand. Now, starting from the roster as it exists now with that $50 mil in cap, you have to find starters at the following positions: - wideout - slot receiver - RT - RG - TE remains an issue - an edge rusher - either a perimeter corner or slot corner, depending on where you want to play Randall - SS - while considering the FS and another corner in their contract years - and the elephant in the room, the Rodgers extension Now consider which up-and-comers currently on the roster can fill those spots. Maybe Spriggs and Brice/Jones. Maybe McCray at RG. That's about it among reasonable expectations, and those guys would need to make a jump to match what you've lost. And you still have not filled the expensive impact positions at receiver, edge rusher and possibly perimeter corner, all positions that require a year of seasoning even for first rounders. And you need to have King make the jump. No matter how you cut it, reconciling those two sentences, given the Hoodie-like assumptions above, is more like magic wand waving than reasonable expectation. The long term contracts signed, the draft and free agent patch-a-hole moves, were all built for a 2015-2017 window. You could go back a couple of years and find my post illustrating that if you want to do the work. I don't. You don't simply undo that. Gutekunst has a 5 year contract. Will he be allowed to use it? Maybe a little. McCarthy has 2 years on his deal. [/QUOTE]
