Quote:Monroe eats up a big chunk.

Bridgewater eats up a sizable chunk (Luck got $22.1M over 4 years)

The second round pick eats up about $1M in cap space


He will sign some other small or moderately small pieces in areas of need and we'll reach the $20M before you know it.


I'm thinking a decent guard and Tate will be the big signings. There isn't going to be Orakpo in our future; you're dreaming.

No, we wouldn't sign an Orakpo if we didn't make the extra 17 million in cuts like I said.


If our intentions were to only spend to the 20 million we could still extend Monroe and Shorts, sign our draft class, sign Tate, an interior lineman, and probably 1 more mid lvl free agent.


Or you could do something similar to what I wrote and spend to the cap and then have over 20-30 million under the cap the following year to boot.


To each his own, but I think my idea gets us better, faster.
