yes to both. We will likely enter free agency top 6 in cap space and this includes Alex Smith's 20M in dead money. Next year, with the likely insurance settlement and tax credit, we can move that off the books. Not to mention we'll be under a new CBA that should increase the cap significantly in coming years.
Bottom line - we've got plenty of money to play with. We're loaded with defensive talent in the front 7 and this is before chase young. Add a starting CB, and Del Rio will have enough to get some good production out of our defense. We need to surround Haskins with talent. Giving him an elite TE and WR to pair with McLaurin would go a LONG way towards ensuring Haskins has everything he needs to succeed.
