If we cut Foles he's an almost 34 mil cap hit.  We cut Marcel Dareus, Marquis Lee, Jake Ryan, and Geoff Swaim and those 4 guys save us 35 million right there....and three of them gave us NOTHING this year. Granted, Marcel was a HUGE part of the run defense, but he's gonna  30 years old before the season starts. If we can snag a Derrick Brown  or Javon Kinlaw to slot in the middle, it might just get us out from underneath the albatross that is Nick.....

Working on the "Over the Cap" website, doing the math on that still shows us with 16 million in cap room for 2020.  I'm pretty sure its not taking any rollover money into account.  The biggest name we have to extend is Yan (Pay him).  The new regime will have 4 1st rounders, a young nucleus of talent (Chark, Fournette, Harrison, Allen, Bryan, Smoot, Taylor if he can stop holding....", and not be hamstrung by a 20+ million QB that no one wants.

Thoughts?
