Overt at OverTheCap.com playing around with salary cap and some scenarios. Assuming Whitworth comes back at something close to $10M I have a pretty hard time seeing any of the three defensive starters (Littleton, Fowler, Brockers) returning.
This is after:
- restructuring Goff
- extending AW for one year, $9.5M
- extending Christian and Blythe for two years each
- extending Zuerlein for one year
- trading Havenstein and Everett
- releasing Malcolm Brown
- RFA tenders for Mundt, Fox and Deayon
After these moves and with a rookie draft pool estimate of $4.4M they'd have roughly $14.5M left. Maybe Deayon and/or Fox are not tendered but that $2-4M tacked back on still won't allow them to keep Littleton and sign a couple other bargain FAs. It could, though, let them sign a FA left guard in the $5-7M range
and maybe an edge guy in that same range.
Just some thoughts.
