When they are able to get Telvin's money off the books for 2019, they could work out something Ngakoue conceivably.  His initial signing bonus would end up being on the small side with a boost in 2020, but they could get him in for a 4-5 year deal at 18 mil per year with around 60% guaranteed. 

Jalen will have to with till 2020 and Jack (if he earns it this year) may have to play under a tag before being extended.

Clearing money after 2019 to sign Ramsey will not be a problem. Not at all. 

 *  Campbell will either prove miraculously immune to father time, or he'll start to show it. That will be a $15 mil savings to release him or a big decrease in that number to re-work his deal. 

 *  Dareus is due 22.5 mil in 2020. He'll either rework, or be released saving 20 million. 

 *  Releasing Linder if he continues to miss games saves $8 million. 

 *  Releasing Marquise Lee will save $5 mil

 *  moving on from Norwell will save $5.5 million

 *  If Bouye struggles or a cheaper replacement is identified his release will save $11.5 million in 2020

 *  If Telvin does not return - his allotted hit of nearly $13 million will be free, if he's released it still saves 7.2 million

You can bet your bottom dollar that 3 of these 7 possibilities are going to happen and possibly more.  
The cap will also increase by 15-20 million dollars if history holds true moving forward. 

Money isn't going to be a problem next year unless they make some weird big splash in free agency, which is highly unlikely.
