[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 531837"] Keep in mind that excluding ALL of these free agents, our current cap commitments for next year for the top 51 are $107 mil. Even with some carryover, there's not a ton of wiggle room. The only vet that could be released to gain meaningful cap space is Tramon Williams (about +$7.5 cap room). I have an uneasy feeling that there will be a choice made between Shields and Williams, with Williams being the coaches feel-good "company man". After Shield: 1. I would have liked to put Jolly high on the list, but a bulging disk is not auspicious. It's a double whammy because it improves Raji's bargaining position. 2. With Jolly in serious question, bringing Pickett back on a one or two year deal starts to look more attractive. 3. I think Quarless merits attention. He's been looking like Finley-lite the last few games. However, like Finley, he's not much of a blocker. With Finley in serious doubt and the fact Quarless shouldn't cost much, he represents good value. 4. Jones is a tough call. It would be nice to have him back, but I'm not sure he'll be a good value for us. Nelson together with Cobb coming back (some day) and Boykin looking like a good-hands possession guy with some hops (even if he's slow) are a good mix. This offense needs to be 4 deep, especially with Finley likely gone, but I'm not sure Jones won't get #2 money from somebody else while he's a #3 or #4 for us. Both Nelson's and Cobb's contracts are up after 2014...both will have to be paid...that limits how much can be committed to the position now. 5. Flynn should be kept if nobody else will risk compete-for-starter money. $1.5 - 2.0 mil per year for a few years would be worth it I think. 5. Lattimore is a physical middle-of-the-field player, something we need even if he has to ride the bench behind the "money" who also happen to be better coverage guys. He won't cost much. I have a hard time getting too excited about anybody else. [/QUOTE]
