[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 837036"] I expected 2 FA signings, 3 at the outside, with the admonition "go young or go home" with second contract players without going to the very top of pay scale. Amos was first on my list. You came up with a list of OLB names which included the Smiths. I agreed that was on the right track. I can only say I did not expect 4 names. After Gutekunst did go in for 4 FAs, squeezing the cap room for 2020 and even 2021, I've been suggesting for months now that Daniels should be traded or cut as a partial solution to the impending cap crunch especially given the change in direction in the types of players they want at the 3-tech position. Some folks here have been looking at Daniels for what he was, not what he is now. After the draft, I accurately recalculated the available draft space for additional moves at $5 mil which is exactly where it was prior to the Lowry contract and Daniel's release assuming $2 mil in reserve for PUP/IR replacements. There isn't a whole lot of futility in these assessments and prescriptions, which is what they are, not predictions. So, here's the difference between that exercise and picking names down to the 53rd. spot on the roster: Other than Amos, I would not go out of my way to target specific names. There were positions of need that suggested the positions of interest, and the need for a rebuild that suggested those second contract players are needed for a multi-year runway, not a quick fix with rent-a-stars. In other words, these assessments and prescriptions are based on general perspectives on the character of the team, the known quantities on the roster, and the resources available. Picking bottom of the roster players out of a pile of unkowns is exceptionally granular based on insufficient information. We'll have a better idea once we see them play in preseason, not an ideal way to assess players but it's the best you're gonna get until the money games begin. [/QUOTE]
