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.

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.

NH3...

The point is, along with the re-signing of Bortles the team relied too heavily on free agency and it hurt them.

I don't think it hurt them. I think it gave them a shot that this city and fanbase were dying for.

It had been 10 long years since a meaningful game was played here in Jacksonville. It had been 10 long years of below average football.

They nearly had it. They just unfortunately let off the gas and coasted into what is known as the "New England is the NFL's posterboy and therefore benefits on every level" Patriots team that does whatever it takes to win.

I can't fault this front office for going for it. And honestly? I think they've got the right idea for moving forward. They draft respectable talent, swing for the fences and grow it and ship it off or keep it going while adding quality patchup players to depleted positions via free agency.

They just need to stop treating the QB position with kid's gloves and too much respect. Sometimes you just need to keep drafting, signing and trading for talent until you hit on it.
