There are plenty of ways they can re- sign all three.  It's just probably going to require one of them being tagged and releasing a couple of replaceable players elsewhere. 

Next offseason they can clear up to $55.25 million by releasing guys who are replaceable with draft picks or aging out.  

If they only release Marqise, Dareus, and Hayden, they could save $31 million right there. 

Drafting a nose tackle, nickel corner, and a receiver next April shouldn't be terribly tough.  Dareus is the only one of those three that's tough to replace. 

Other players that offer huge savings if released include:
Campbell, Bouye, and Linder. 
This is not even mentioning the millions that may come off the books if Telvin doesn't return. 

They'll find the right combination of these 6 potential releases to let go and clear cap.

Never TRY to change another person's statement, view point. I Concur that signing BB5 to an extension was Not the way to go, but Moncrief was handcuffed by said QB. Did you see the #s on his new contract? They think that he's worth it. Lee Did play an entire NFL season, the season prior to that Cheap Shot to his knee. Remember that play? As for not being able to resign all three, none of the aforementioned player except BB5 had anything to do w/this scenario. He's against the cap for what, $13,000,000.00. His replacement is on the cap for $20,000,000.00 if I'm not mistaken.

We've paid other players such as Campbell, Linder, Norwell, Bouye, etc. as per the reasoning of not being able to resign all three.

Coughlin and Caldwell aren't going anywhere in the near future.

Time Will Tell.
