Give it my best.
First off cuss out Earl Thomas for costing us 10 mil this year. Thanks Earl. You p.o.s
Right now we have 18,273,773mil right now according to OTC and in the back of our minds we have to remember even bigger contracts come up next year with Lamar and Andrews and we have to have a good sense of how much the cap will raise.
First off I would trade Zeus Jr and lets just say to the Jags for their 2nd and I would push hard for a 2022 1st. I would settle for a 2nd in 2022 and their 4th in 2021 if I couldn't get the 1st in 2022 and I'm not flipping a 5th for a 4th or none of that shit. We pick up draft capital but this opens up a massive hole at RT but I don't want somebody that's unhappy playing there. This gives us another 3.384 mil and gives us a grand total of 21,667,773 mil.
Next there are 3 players considered "cuttable". Marcus Peters(9.4 mil in savings), Campbell (6 mil) and big bear in the middle (7.5 mil). Peters I would talk some sort of extension since his cap hit is actually lower in 2022 than 2021 (EDC stroke of genius) hopefully freeing up close to 3 mil. Campbell is a a tough one but I'd see if he 'd take a paycut from 10 mil base salary down to 7 freeing up another 3 mil. Big Bear I'd probally leave alone,let it expire and just work 1 or 2 yr deals with him until he retires. Just love an all time Raven plus I'm scared he'd eat me if I tried to take any of his lunch money. So with these moves we'd have 27-28 mil on our hands and we'd probally have to subtract 7 mil lets say for rookie contracts leaving 20-21 mil.
Next sign our own Derek Wolfe and Jihad Ward. Wolfe just cuz he's an ace on this defense and I just see so much in Ward I'm resigning both on 3 yr deals. McPhee on a 1 yr deal is also on the radar. The OLB situation? Here's music to your ears bro. Buh bye Judon. Thank you very much for your service but 17 mil............. don't let the door hit you where mother nature split you. I'm signing either Ngakwoue or Bowser. Probally not both. Ngakwoue would be my primary cuz he's straight up passrusher and I think an offseason in Wink's system is gonna make us happy. 3 yr 45-48 mil but lets just say no more than 16 mil avg and we may have to backload a little and pray the cap seriously jumps but we definitely want some sort of contract where he's cuttable after 2 yrs. Bowser is also valuable at the SAM but I'm thinking at minimum he's a 13 mil player and I would try if I couldn't keep Ngakwoue. No way I'm letting all 3 walk. At WR boy am I interested in Curtis Samuel. What this offense needs is not true WR's but what I like to call "weapons" and he fits the bill. Slants,screens,jet reverses. All kinds of shit you can use him for. Snead I'm not resigning and for veterans I'm riding again with the three of Boykin,Dev and Proche and hoping somebody steps up. OLine? We have a surplus of guards I'm riding with and I hate signing UFA's costing comp picks and with the talent I'm seeing in the draft would love to go at least 2 picks on oline in the first 2 days. As of now with my scenario we got 4 picks. For oline I would go more for cheap free agent at RT after the comp deadline passes but also as I said the draft where C and OT is what I'm looking at.
Not going to get into the draft except I'm definitely wanting oline since it seems to be a strength but when it comes to a blueprint for the offseason I think with the cap going down in general we have to be realistic in who and what we can get and how you want to backload. Backloading can fuck you in the end and we have Lamar and Andrews coming up. So important!!!
So if we have lets say 20-21 mil after rookie contracts can we fit Wolfe,Samuel,Ward,McPhee and Yannick on this team. I hope so. #SIIE
