being that we dont have to pay yannick, jack, or ramsey next year, and we are likely to cut guys, or atleast, in my opinion now that we suck again we likely should, we will have the money should we choose to

We are over the cap for next season as it stands now, even if we don't extend our young guys we're still gonna have to trim a little fat just to get under the cap and we have some FA players we're gonna have to re-sign or replace and that's not counting the $17 million you want to add onto the cap. We'd have to cut a star player or two from the defense, to make that happen. We'd likely have to cut Campbell, Dareus and Jackson to franchise Fowler and have enough left to re-sign or replace our outgoing FA's. I don't want to totally dismantle the team for one guy. This draft is loaded with good, young edge rushers. We can add a guy in the 2nd or 3rd round for a much, much, much cheaper price tag.
