Rookie contracts, injured reserve replacements, etc. So some of your 17mil number is going to be spent on that stuff before and during the season... So his numbers were around $10mil after rookies and ir replacements.My comment about having spent our whole cap already, is referencing that Thompson left us $10 mil in cap carry over.  And right now we have 10 mil (of 17), spendable cap space. If we plan to keep 10 mil carry over, that means we are done in free agency....right now. All done. If the NFL decides not to raise the cap the maximum amount? Then we are dipping into savings already... right now. Now if I'm building a team. #12 is #1 priority. Jordy, Cobb, and Mathews didn't stop us from going 3-7 down the stretch. If they did, I might not be so quick to make a cut. #12 is the man. Time we lock him up with a mega contract. That's going to take some hard cuts.I'm not against restructuring in Jordy's case. He might be playing possum. I think he and #12 will always be good together. Mathews and Cobb are where the cap goes, so that's where it has to come from.This whole "must have replacement in place" concept, I'm not buying. It goes against the next man up concept. Which is law. I guarantee if I drop dead tomorrow, someone will step up and build awesome log homes<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />. Guarantee... we had 7 wrs, and released a couple good prospects. If we lose two, and go down to 5+. Add a couple rookies. You telling me there's no way #12 could dominate?or Mathews... we spent a 3rd rounder on fackrell in 2016, A 4th rounder on biegel in 2017. Spent big locking in Perry for the other side... got a decent prospect in Gilbert imo. Or what ever his name was. Seems we add a couple depth guys, and we are good.I'm hoping pettine comes in and plays another dlineman. A actual lb instead of a tweener safety playing lb. Jones can play the part of punishing safety. More Big ,fast, strong, physical CBs. Basicly super size some of these positions... Thompson and capers loved to do the opposite. Olb replaces one , sometimes two Dlinemen. Safety playing ilb. No 230# safety, we liked 205 pound safety. CBs under 6', 200#. We played light right across the board...but to make up for it, we had guys who weren't that fast.....<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" />Anyways. I completely agree that the wr corps, and the olb corps, would be in rebuild mode. But for some positives, we do have one young star in each of those groups. The team as a whole has great building blocks to build 2018s roster... I'm optimistic every year we had #4, or #12.</blockquote>
