We might actually spend more on our top-3 than anyone else has spent on their top 4. Then our secondary contracts of Brown, Lockett, KJ (who we obviously can't let go of after his stellar performance this season), Britt (IDK) and the safeties. LOL at thinking we're going to be cap rich. You simply haven't done the math. We're going to end up with somewhere around 10-15 million to fill a dozen slots.
Iupati: 3M
Britt: 12M
Fluker: 3.5M
Wright: 8.5M
There's another 27-28M you just freed up with players we probably will cut or not resign next year.....and there are a bunch more 2nd and 3rd stringers like Moore, Brown, Prosise, etc that we're not bringing back that'll free up more cap.
So yes, we've done the math, plenty of room to do whatever we want to do to try to snag Clowney and probably Reed, who REALLY screwed himself in his contract year by getting suspended, and we can probably get for a much lower extension then we would have had to pay him if he played in the first six games and balled out.
