If we just cut Griffin, Chaisson, Claybrooks, and Jordan Smith that's $19+ of the 20 we're over the cap. Jenkins is $8.5 more and RRH is around that same number. We can get there fairly easily and that's not considering restructures or other extensions that could help immediately.

I'm on-board with letting Griffin, Chaisson, Claybrooks and Smith walk. Jamal Agnew has been a good player, but I'd also part ways with him to save an additional $4.5 million. That would total $23.5 million in savings.

The team will likely end up re-signing Engram and that will likely be an additional hit of $12-$15 million, at the least. Add in another $2.5 million for the rookies and my math says they still need to cut about $15 million more.

Question: Is the additional $12 million salary cap for all teams already factored into the Jaguars' number? If not, that brings the number down to only $3 million surplus which could be addressed by re-doing some contracts. If not, it's likely the team will need to cut either RRH or Jenkins. I know both have been somewhat inconsistent, but I'd love to be able to keep both if possible. I'm not sure whom I'd keep between these two if they have to cut one. That will be a tough choice. 

If the team does something like this, the draft will need to focus on pass rushers and offensive linemen. These appear to be the areas needing the most improvement, along with an additional corner/nickelback.
