Please don't over spend!

Chris Jones will be closer to 30 than 20 mil

• Dre'Mont Jones, $23,510,000.
• Dexter Lawrence, $24,253,000.
• Javon Hargrave, $25,015,000.
• Jeffery Simmons, $25,580,000.
• Quinnen Williams, $26,094,000.
• Aaron Donald, $28,500,000.
• Daron Payne, $31,010,000.

I agree Jones will be closer to $30M than $20M but your numbers are all off. Daron Payne at $31M?

Are you dense?

We can make 70m in cap room. That is after resigning CD and restructuring or extending Dak. The only main player needing to be resigned would be Parsons, and that doesn't have to happen for another year. That 70m in cap room would be enough to sign multiple free agents to huge deals if we chose to. I am not saying we will, but we could.

It really comes down to whether Jerry is really serious about going all in. Because even spending a ton of money doesn't guarantee a title.

According to this article we are currently sitting at 20 million OVER the cap.

Restructure Dak saves 20 million we're at the cap. CeeDee can save us 11 million, cutting Gallup saves us 10, restructure Martin and Diggs can save another 20, That's 40 million where are you getting the other 30?

Be an adult and learn to explain yourself to someone without insults, thanks. It's really not that difficult. Not everyone is a cap expert like I guess you think you are, it's not really something I care about that much as there are more important things in my life.

According to this article we are currently sitting at 20 million OVER the cap.

So....you were whining about the cap yet you found $61m in cap space to put us bout 40m under the cap.

To find a total of 90m, to give us 70m in cap space:

Guys to cut:
Gallup - June 1st cut - $9.5m saved. Has trouble getting separation, but makes a few spectacular catches. Can do better.
Cooks - saves $4m - decent player but we don't use him correctly, get an impact WR with his money.
Vander Esch - $2.1m - too many injuries, not trustworthy
Rush - $2.25m - might as well go with Lance as backup
Wright - $1.2m

Restructure or Extension:
Zach - $12.6m or $13.4m depending on restructure or extension. Still at high level.
Tank - $4.4m or $7m. Still playing at a high level. slightly above average pass rusher, great run defender.
Diggs -$7.9m
Steele - $4.9m
Wilson - $2.9m
Lamb extension - $13.4m
Lance extension - $3.4m

Dak - $21.9m or $26.2m

So,
$9.55m in regular cuts
$9.5m in June first cuts

$71.4m with only restructures or $79.1m with biggest additions between restructures and extensions.

We can make 90+m just from the above.
