Okay, I really like to speak in numbers:
We will have pay-cuts, resignings, released savings and those numbers conclude in FA cap space 2020:
Pay-cut savings:
Britt: 11,66 million --> 6,5 million
K.J.: 10 million --> 8 million
==> 7,16 million savings!
Resignings:
Clowney: (4 years 84 million) --> 13 million (cap hit in 2020)
Reed: (1 year proof it deal) --> 10,5 million
Jefferson: (3 years 18 million) --> 4,5 million (cap hit in 2020)
Fant: (4 years 38 million) --> 6,5 million (cap hit in 2020)
Kendricks: --> 3,8 million
Iupati: --> 2,5 million
Woods, Gordon, Hunt, Moore, Hollister, Turner, Geno Smith and Luke Wilson: -->11,3 million
==> 52,2 million in resignings!
Released players:
Dickson: --> 3,25 million
TT: --> 2,14 million (hopefully)
Belore: --> 1,00 million
Hill: --> 0,75 million (hopefully the 2nd)
==> 7,14vmillion in released savings!
Finally we do have the following amount to spend in FA:
59,00 million (actual cap space)
+ 7,16 million (cap hit savings)
-52,20 million (Resignings)
+ 7,14 million (Released savings)
=21,1 million (real cap space)
Finally we can spend 21,1 million + cap space hit in 2020 in FA2020.
If I would be GM I would like to sign the following FA:
1. Sign 2nd Edge Rusher: Ngakoue (5 years 84 million) --> 10 million (cap hit in 2020)
2. Sign a veteran RT: Conklin (4 years 42 million) --> 7,5 million (cap hit in 2020)
3. Sign a rotational player for DL: Vinny Curry --> 2,5 million
4. Sign a TE: Greg Olson --> 3-5 million
==> 23-25 million for FA should be possible with cap increase in 2020.
I know, maybe not all numbers a perfect but I think this is a good board to understand better what we have to do before FA to see what real cap space is a vailable in 2020.
Feel free to give some notes if this kind of scenario would be possible?
