Allen and Robinson need contracts. Taylor may get franchised if he continues.

Need to set aside cap space for Trevor too

If your franchise literally just broke the all time record for most money spent in free agency, you'd better hope you aren't going to follow that up with more big spending. 

Extensions/new contracts for our better talent approaching end of contract or massively outplaying their contract should be a priority.

As far as addressing needs on the roster through FA and the draft:

•  we may need depth or competition at interior OL depending on how Bartch and Fortner finish the year
  
• we will likely go after an X receiver - will that be draft or FA? 
  
•  we have to add tight ends or re-sign Arnold, Engram and Manhertz - all are impending FAs
  
•  we have to add depth at safety , maybe competition too
  
• James Robinson needs a deal ASAP
  
• Marvin Jones will likely be gone - do you pay a guy his age to keep continuity? Probably not
  
• Role players like Gotsis, Arden Key and Smoot are all set to depart unless paid
  
• If they want that QB room intact they'll have to pay Beathard
  

Obviously, they still need to spend some money on some of this ^ but it will have to be a fraction of what they spent in 2022

Will be interesting to see who they let walk and who they pay to stay
