Trade back 10, trade Gallup, and have 6 picks in the top 100. We really do have a lot of ammo to upgrade the defense with, and we've got the premier positions covered with DLaw and Gregory.
A whole lotta wasted money *should* come off the defense too. Jaylon, Crawford, Lee, and all the free agent waste from last year. And Dak's cap hit is coming *down* this year.
With a temporary crunch on the cap and owner's cash flow likely to be followed by a huge cash and cap upsurge with new tv contracts, Deep Pockets Jerry is in a position to take advantage of the crunch this year better than most.
I'm a big time cap penny pincher, but I hope and somewhat expect Jerry to push some cap into the future to take advantage of this big buying opportunity.
Time for some shiny new toys on defense. Doesn't have to be top tier players, but maybe near the top. Probably one or two multiyear contracts for quality defensive starters coming.
And probably one high risk player coming. If anyone will scrape ET out of the bargain bin, it's Jerry, and we do have ET's old DC during two All Pro and SB years as our shiny new DC. Seems inevitable. Certainly the best fit in the league for ET.
