You’re right. So Ridley will most likely want into the 20’s. Not sure I’d want to give him that if it meant keeping us from signing offensive line help or even retaining Foye.

I think there are ways to keep Allen and Ridley and another guy if they work Trevor's new deal over 5 or more years and spread out the money. Oluokun has a year left on his deal at 21 mil next year. 

Allen
Ridley
Ezra Cleveland 
McManus
Agnew

Those are the five impending free agents of most interest as things stand. 

I bet they find a way to keep at least 3 of them if they continue to contribute meaningfully.

Cut:
Ridley
Agnew

Sign another Zay Jones ascending receiver for less money. Drafter another pass catching TE and receiver. Trevor can keep the offense humming with Kirk and Engram and some emerging talent. For example, there’s a tall WR whom everyone liked in training camp, but I’ve forgotten his name already because he’s hardly seen the field this year. 

Don’t extend Olukun. Ride out his deal and tag him the following year if Lloyd still is not an adequate replacement. 

You’ve got to make tough calls. Like the Eagles used to have great success with - cut/trade players right at the downside of their peaks. This requires some advanced metrics to project the likely descent point at every position group.
