Does FA waits till after draft and maybe June 1st ! What will be left for 2023 season ?

Below is a informal depth chart and cap tracker (current cap hit without roster & workout bonuses due in future).

Couple disclaimers & points of interest:
- Depth chart does not suggest that they are in positional position as many starters still to be determined by FA & draft.
- (Last YR) column indicates the last year under current contract (removed voided years & last year with ridiculous salaries sure to be reworked or waived).
- PFF is simply Pro Football Focus (for those who give credence) to last year with no minimum snap requirements.
- Draft picks salary cap slot number is put into current cap picture (and will surely change as picks are exchanged). Current draft pick cap # $9,790,693 in green. Also, placed an initial mock draft for picks in green as well.
- Currently they have 44 under contract, so 7 more will count to Top 51 and lowest cap numbers will drop off.
- NO salary cap is currently in the special teams positions with Gay & Dixon signing on other teams during offseason.

I think we all can see Allen Robinson being traded after June 1st for a non valued pick to move the contract. I don't think he will be cut because it creates no cap savings this year although will in future years. If traded before June 1st it still leaves $ 11 million cap hit this year with a $6.85 million savings. If traded after June 1st its a $2.8 million cap hit with $15.25 million savings this year. Only $2.8 cap hit for following 3 years in this scenario.

They do have $ 11.2 million now but will shrink to $ 1.9 after signing draft picks.

I don't think the reason they keep Donald is legacy, its cap management. Even with traded after June 1st, is cap hit is still $12.5 with 13.5 cap savings and in 2024 its $12.5 hit / $21.6 savings - in 2025 its $8 cap hit / $ 21.3 savings and then in 2026 its still a $ 8 cap hit and a negative $ 8 cap savings. If Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Joe Namath, OJ Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Jerry Rice and many more can be traded from their storied franchises so can Aaron Donald.

Anyway, here is what I got and my question is do any of you see Robinson being in the horns in 2023 and same goes with Donald ?
