2022 OFFSEASON BEGIN
Only one retirement: minsal mentor RB Eddie Lacy hangs 'em up. He didn't play a single snap in the regular season for us, so I'm not exactly weeping.

LCB D.J. Hayden, now in year 10, gets the franchise tag.

One starter gets cut: SS Nicky Hitchcock. Former undrafted rookie Sedrick Peterson has earned a starting job and is quite a bit cheaper than Hitchcock. Releasing him saves me $7M this year.

Last offseason, we signed two stopgaps at DE. Neither performed particular well. I cut both of them in favor of a couple of other DE signings:

LDE Bo Castillo (49/49, yr 4)--63PRT, 37 PRS. He had a decent year for JAX last season, his first as a starter.
RDE Reggie Jordan (54/54, yr 6)--74 Run Defense, 78 PRT, 33 PRS. He was hurt most of last year, and therefore came fairly cheaply. Had 6 sacks and a 5.1 PRPct in 2020 as a starter for the Lions.

We have the #17 pick in the draft. This time there is a MONSTER stud TE in the draft class: all red combines, and all bars but BPR in the 90ish-100ish range. Last year's stud went #8. I'd think this guy could go #5, so that's where I target my trade-up.
