No insights or opinions of your own to share?

I see your point as the cuts you propose if made after June1 would save about 50 million in cap space giving us 79. It is an easy way.

A little early for me to have a strong opinion, but I'll comment of the cuts you suggested.

Brandon Scherff - At this point in his career he may not ever have 17 games in him.  Possible to restructure for a lot less money. However, big experienced O=linemen are scarce.

Cam Robinson - Our best lineman the last 2 years and the only one with a degree of aggressiveness. We already going to need to swap out most of the interior. Doing this is a real stretch this year.

Folorunsu Fatukasi - This comes down to can we replace this 28 year old 318 lb DL for less than the 8 million we would save. (we eat almost 5 million in dead cap) The team has already restructured his contract pushing money into 2027. I don't think they would do this unless he is part of their long term plans. Maybe..depends on the new DC perhaps.

Zay Jones - Clearly when he is healthy he is one of TL's favorite targets. He seem to be on the same page as TL.  We do save 8 million and transfer another 3 million to dead cap.  Like Fatukasi the team has already restructured his contract pushing money into 2027. I don't think they would do this unless he is part of their long term plans.

One thing I did notice about spotrac is they have included all our practice squad players at 7-900,000 each. We spent a total of about 3 million last year there. Have not figured out the impact of that...yet.

PS, I used spotrac which has a cap number next year of 250 million. The cap has not been set yet, but over the cap may be using another number.
