With Cam Robinson's suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy, he has endangered the large signing bonus he received when he signed his new deal after being franchised.

Assume Robinson loses his signing bonus and is cut.

That bonus money would return to our cap in one form or another.

How would you utilize this money?

Would you retain one of the other guys who are slated to become free agents next offseason?  If so, assuming no major injury and no drop in performance, who would seek to resign and why?

Or perhaps you would allocate those funds to re-signing Trevor Lawrence.  While he is on the 3rd year of a five year rookie deal, his 4th year would be the first year his contract could be re-done.  Giving him a new deal now may be considerably cheaper than waiting until his 5th year to get a new deal.
