Cap Implications of Josh Norman

[Schneed10]

Who is on the 2017 roster, and where are the holes?

Defensive Backs:

Corners: Josh Norman, Baushad Breeland, Chris Culliver, Will Blackmon, Quinton Dunbar, Deshazor Everett
Safeties: DeAngelo Hall, David Bruton, Kyshoen Jarrett

Players up for Free Agency: Greg Toler (like we care), Duke Ihenacho

Suddenly corner is nice and crowded. Safety is a need. Everett may convert, and I think it's highly likely McCloughan does something at safety in 2016's draft.

I'm actually going to assume that by 2017 Culliver is gone, mostly because I think Dunbar will develop some, and Jarrett provides the flexibility to come down and cover the slot. You just shouldn't pay Culliver that much to be your #3 CB, doesn't make sense. I like him, but resources. The rest I think is just draft, I see us letting the pending free agents walk.

Cutting Culliver frees: $6.8M
