Personally, I try to free up as much money as possible. We have to look to the future and if Trevor has another year like he did this season, it would be wise to extend him after the 2023 season, not only as a sign of good faith that we want him here, but because the price for franchise QB's keeps getting higher and higher and the longer we wait, the higher the number will get. I also would bring back Evan Engram at any cost. He has proven to be the best TE this team as had since Pete Mitchell. We cannot lose him. Keeping these factors in mind and given the cap situation we are already in, some tough decisions are gonna have to be made. Guys like Shaq Griffin, Rayshawn Jenkins, Roy Robertson-Harris, K'Lavon Chaisson and Tyler Shatley need to be released. If my numbers are correct, that would free up approximately $31 million give or take a million or two. I also look to re-structure deals with Christian Kirk, Cam Robinson and Brandon Scherff to allow us some wiggle room to bring in some reasonably priced free agents to round out the roster. 

We MUST re-sign Evan Engram. That has to be priority #1. I'd also really like to bring back Arden Key, Andrew Wingard, JaMycal Hasty and Riley Patterson. Dawuane Smoot would be on my wish list as well, but something tells me he is gonna get a deal from someone else, more than we can afford. With some key free agent losses and cuts, we're gonna have to hit on a lot of players in this upcoming draft as well as identifying some cheap free agent acquisitions with a lot of upside.
