Good thread

First thing I'm doing; I'm still taking the NFL to court over this bogus penalty. I'm going out with everything I can whether I can get $1 million or all $18 million or in between or $0, I'm not going out without a fight.

(this is where my post starts to look like a tax form of selections; if option 1 then this, if option 2 then that)

If we get money back, then there is no need to cut guys like Carriker, Hall and so on.

If we don't get money back I'm cutting/restructuring:

DHall $7.5
Santana Moss $3.7
London Fletcher (retirement?) $2.7
Josh Wilson $3.2
Jamaal Brown $0.2 (I'm copying this from CC post, but is it really $200,000 we save cutting him??)
Adam Carriker $2.2

I'm also extending Josh Morgan so that his deal this year is light, plus after the ball spike at Finnegan he was then proven to be a good player for us.

I'm also asking Cofield and Bowen who have $6+ and $5+ million to lower their salaries by $1 million

All this should free up ~$22 million in capspace

Priority Resignings/Replacements:
Fred Davis or similar TE: ($2.5)
Kory Lichtensteiger: ($2.5)
Darrel Young: ($1.0)
Logan Paulsen: ($0.6)
Lorenzo Alexander: ($1.8)
Nick Sundberg or similar LS: ($0.3)
Rob Jackson: ($1.6)
Sav Rocca or similar P: ($0.4)
Tyler Polumbus: ($1.1)
Cap Space Required for Re-signings/Replacements ($11.8)

The guys I bolded, I think MUST be re-signed. The guys I italicized, I'm on the fence about, they're on that 'take it or leave it deal'. I've read we're trying to sign Fred to a 2 year deal. Darrell Young is the 3rd best FB in the NFL, so he must be resigned. Logan was a great backup/blocker for us. The LS and P or good together.

Free Agency

I'm going after Corey Lynch for Safety depth
I'm signing him to a 3 year $8 million deal

IF we don't resign Fred we MUST sign James Casey the FB/TE/H back for Houston to a 3 year $12 million deal. If we do re-sign Fred we still should go after this guy. He's familiar with Kyles offense, and is a very versatile player. He's a step below Fred but steps above Logan Paulsen.

The last guy I'm going after is Greg Toler as depth for our secondary. He was injured a year ago and played in limited action last year. But when he played, he played very well. He's a local kid, and at the moment he has us, AZ, and Cleveland looking to sign/re-sign him. I'm offering him a 4 year $14-17 million.

Ryan Harris the RT for Houston who played for Shanahan in Denver, is good but injury prone. He's better than Polumbus (who isn't--nfldraftscout didn't even rate Polumbus among the best 35 RTs in todays game--ouch). I'm going to take a wait and see market approach with Harris. I see a deal of 1 year $1.75 million being offered to Harris.
