First, I would cut Dickson, Britt and possibly TJ Wright depending on what happens in FA and the draft. Dickson is just too hurt and age is against him. Britt is coming off a serious ACL and his contract doesn't support his value going forward. Last Wright is a warrior, but injuries, contract and age are hard to ignore going forward. That gives us nearly $20M extra to work with in FA. Add in $2M for cutting TT and we have the money to fix the Defense for certain.
FA:
Re-sign DE Clowney
Re-sign DT/DE Jefferson
Sign either DT Hargrave or Leonard Williams
Sign DE Beasley or DE Ngakoue (probably Beasley will be more in our price range)
Re-Sign Woods
Sign TE (your pick, but not more than $5M per year)
Re-sign Fant for RT and move to LT when Brown retires.
Our D-Line would be fixed for 3-4 years.
Depending on how contracts are written we could still have funds for a few more players. If so, I would look at a WR, LB, nickle corner and OL not necessarily in that order.
If this happened the draft would be set up for OL, OL, OL, WR, RB, LB, DT, ect. In other words fix the DL in FA and get young on our O-Line.
That would be my plan.
Agree with alot of this except, the option @ DE I might go that route as option 2, but Ravens dont have the money to resign all their guys, hope they do a tag & trade for Judon. Plus we need help @ cb, Flowers needs to atleast be pushed for his Starting job or flat replaced, maybe see how he works at Safety? + Need a lock down nickle corner so we dont have to try and cover WR's w/ LB's. There are some sticky nickle corners in this draft. With all the elite OT gone by our pick, dont be surprised if our pick isn't a WR, especially if Shenault is still available, he would be a chest piece from hell for Russell. I also imagine one of our 1st 4 picks is a TE! Maybe Kmet with our 1st!
