Note: if a player is expected to cost vet minimum to resign like a Terence Garvin might, then I do not list them here because the cap impact of resigning them is a net zero, once you account for the impact of the player they displace from the top 51.
Note: if they don't release all five of the players I have listed here, they'd have less space.
Note: if they let some of their own free agents walk, like Garcon, they'd have more space. |

I would be okay if they let Compton walk.
I like the guy and I've said before I think DL and FS are absolute priorities, this D could be efficient with improvements at these 2 positions.
But he is clearly not physical enough, 4M more in cap space entering FA would be nice.
And we gotta aggressively draft defense anyway. So if we gonna have below average play at ILB I'd rather have it be because of rookie mistakes than mediocre player.
