Quote:According to Dave, we're also close to our cap number and don't have a lot to spend to get there.

 

Also pointing to less spending than most fans would expect, or desire.

 

I've been stating the opinion that they will try to sign two free agents that command at least a $20mil guarantee. (top tier guys)  And then a number of mid-tier players. 

 

Hopefully they are able to get the guys they want, but for those listing 4, or 5 free agents that are all looking to get top five salaries at their positions...

...well, they will probably be disappointed. 

 

For those in need of perspective (not you pirkster) consider the "cap hit" number from last years free agent haul.

They had a cap hit last year of <b>$36.3 million</b> on Thomas, Parnell, Odrick, House, Skuta and Brown. That's just what was paid to those players in 2015. 

Now remember - they also pursued Randall Cobb and DeMarco Murray last year. 

 

They seem to be implying they will be MORE aggressive this year.  So.....  I do think they'll try to make a "splash" and I think they'll succeed in landing two top tier guys. 

Similar to JT and Odrick last year, but guys that demand bigger salaries and guarantees.
