There are some serious bucks this team could save next year and the year after though cutting non essential/old guys. Lewis likely retires this year or walks, Ivory is likely done, Henne needs to go and we draft a QB(should be a savings) and getting Hurns and Bortles reworked would get us about 10 mil or so back in cap room. We could lock one of them up, and I am glad I am not the one picking, but if I had to I'd pick Arob, you have  your speed in Westbrook, you have your physical possession guy in Aron, and Cole is a shifty guy you could throw in the slot. 

Also, Blake needs a new 2-3 year contract. He has earned it, at least 17 mil or so. After tonight, and with the body of work I have seen the last few weeks, I have to  change my stance on paying him solid starter money.  Go ahead and bring him in at 17 mil a year for 3 years, maybe even an incentive based contact to push him up more if he throws x TDs or under X interceptions. Blake has shown his worth, and I think we can play winning football for the next couple years as our newly drafted 1st round QB is groomed for a year or 2.
