Update by the numbers:
51 players signed + 6 expected rookie draftees
Legal roster already aboard, except short a long snapper
Leading bidder on 12 free agents
I have a max offer of $19m, but have to leave some space to extend contracts with DE Harmon (6-10m) and possible WR Crook (3-4m).
The big unknown here is QB Gunn. Last year of his $7m/yr deal, and by rights he should demand an extension. I dealt to get
Irving Mathews as our likely starter next season, but in theory could go to him right away, especially if Gunn demands to get paid. Gunn only wants $22m, but at the moment his only real edge on Mathews is one excellent season in the books with us.
