What I would like to see prior to the draft - restructure Hunter (with an eye toward a new deal) - restructure Nico - restructure Tunsil (I know, I know) That should be about ~$46M in cap space Trades Trade G Kenyon Green + 2026 5th to CLE for G Joel Bitinio + 2026 6th Cap ~$44.5M Tenders (ooowww... my tenders! IYKYK) Tender TE Dalton Keene RFA [$3.2M] negotiate new deal 2 years, $5M with $3.5M gtd Tender LB Jake Hansen RFA [$3.2M] negotiate new deal 2 years, $5M with $3.5M gtd Cap ~ $38M Offense Signings Sign WR TuTu Atwell (LAR) (2 years, $9M) [4, 5] Sign OL Brady Christensen (CAR) {3 years, $12M) [3, 4, 5] Sign OL James Daniels (PIT) (3 years, $24M) [7, 8, 9] Sign OT George Fant (SEA) (1 year, $3.5M) will not impact our compensatory pick calculations b/c he was cut Cap ~$18.5 Defense Signings Sign Edge Joseph Ossai (CIN) (2 years, $8M) [4, 4] Sign IDL Sheldon Rankins (CIN) (1 year, $6M) will not impact our compensatory pick calculations b/c he was cut Re-sign LB Neville Hewitt (HOU) (2 years, $6M) [2.5, 3.5] Sign CB Shaq Griffin (MN) (2 years, $10M) [4.5, 5.5] Cap ~$1.5M Needs headed into draft - WR - SAF (youth) - RB (speed) - OL depth - CB depth - IDL depth
how in the heck do we only have 4.5 million in cap space when the cap increased by nearly 24 million?
I would love Devante Adams on this team. He's the exact profile of WR that would compliment Nico in this offense, and give CJ the outlet he sorely needs. Caley would have a ton of flexibility to draw up passing plays on all 3 levels. I weep for what the offense could have (and should have) been last year, and I only hope Caley actually has the chops to unlock it (assuming we get the right personnel).
