Trade Cooper to the Colts for 3rd rounder pick 82, the colts only have pitman as a good pass catcher and don't have a first round draft pick this year. They have enough cap space and don't want to let Cooper hit the open market for the Jags or Dolphins to sign him. The trade saves 16 million on the cap.

Restructure Dak,Tank and Martin to open up another 40 million or so in cap space

Resign 1. Gallup 1 year 8 mil incentives up to 10 mil, 2. Cedrick 3 year 18 mil, 3. Turner 2 year 4 mil
That's all 3 receivers signed with Cooper's 16 mil in savings.

Resign 1. Anger 2 year 6 mil, 2. Urban 1 year vet minimum, 3. LVE 1 year 4 mil, 4. Gifford 1 year RFA deal, 5. Hooker 2 year 5 mil, 6. Kearse 3 year 24 million.

These signings are about 20 mil and your already 21 million over the cap this year that pretty much evens out the cap to zero. The salary cap will most likely go up this year and should add 10 to 15 million to the pool which is enough to bargain FA shop and sign your draft picks and UDFA + camp fodder.

Let them walk: 1. Gregory 2. Schultz 3. C. Williams 4. Armstrong.... biggest losses but should net comp picks next year
Also gone... Clement, Noah Brown, Nsekhe, Hyatt, Watkins, Neal, Bernard, Canady, Kazee, Thompson.

This makes DE a need in the draft and I would hate to lose Gregory but I have a feeling he will price himself out the door.

Draft: Linderbaum, Green, Dean, Lloyd, Karlaftis, Ojabo, Leal, Burks, Williams, Johnson, Walker, are all gone when 24 comes around Dax Hill is still there and so is Penning but Cowboys trade back instead.

The Falcons took Karlaftis at 8 and want back in the first to draft a QB of future in Malik Willis. Cowboys pick at 24 is worth 740pts Falcons give 43 and 58 worth 790pts to move up, a 50pt overpay to get that 5th year option. Also Jumping up in front of Tampa who needs a QB now.

Draft Picks
43. OG Zion Johnson (6'3, 316) Boston College ATL Compensation
56. DE Kingsley Enagbare (6'4, 265) South Carolina
58. DT Travis Jones (6'5, 330) UConn ATL Compensation
82. WR David Bell (6'2, 205) Purdue Cooper Compensation
88. LB Channing Tindall (6'2, 230) Georgia
120. S Smoke Monday (6'3, 199) Auburn
Comp. CB Tariq Woolen (6'4, 205) UTSA Comp pick from Andy Dalton
5th. TE Jelani Woods (6'7, 265) Virginia
6th. WR Dai'Jean Dixon (6'4, 200) Nicholls State

This draft isn't very top heavy and has talent layered through the first 4 rounds I am liking the trade down scenarios more and more especially if Dean, Lloyd, Linderbaum and Green are all gone.
