If this Front Office doesn't re-sign Ngakoue and lets him walk, it'll officially show just how clueless and dumb they really are and they need to be cleaned out ASAP.

There's no reason why they can't sign both Ngakoue and Ramsey.

Campbell and Dareus are going to both be gone within the next 1-3 years I'd imagine. I bet Dareus is let go after this season (set to make $22.5m in 2020) and Campbell will likely follow the season after that (he'll be a FA after the 2020 season). Let Dareus go after this season frees up $20m. Letting Campbell go after this season would free up another $15m.

Letting Bouye go after this season would free up $11.5m ($13.5m after 2 seasons).

If Telvin does sit out all season, they'll get another $10m added back to the cap after this season is over.

And all that just starts the fun. 

There's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't be able to re-sign both Ngakoue and Ramsey, unless this FO low balls the [BLEEP] out of them, or if those players just simply don't want to be here.

The front office can't make him sign. Let's remember that Yan chose not to sign, much like what we saw with A. Robinson.  The Colts are standing by with a dump truck of cash and no star DE. They have the cap space to get into a bidding war for Yan. Yan has no team loyalties, believe it. 

And why the hell would you let highly productive players like Campbell and Bouye go? Campbell is a highly productive All-pro. Bouye was arguably the best CB in the NFL in 2017. Now, Telvin can walk, and Dareus needs to restructure. Also, Jack is coming due for a contract in an already depleted LB corp. Unless some young guys step up, contracts are going to get tough the next few years.
