The 2027 FA Period #1
We are 3 mill over the cap
I have a lot of players in the last year of their deal –
I extend Tony Rhem by four years and drop his cap his this year
I cut WILB Burkley. He’s 30, and he’s been dropping in things like pass rush as well as stats. He’s my most paid LB and this frees up 9.6 mill in salary cap.
Now I can I sign Derr to 65 mill over 5 years
I sign my RFAs and am at 48 folks
I extend Freitas and save 3 mill this year
I extend K Rabbitt by thee years
I now have 13 mill
I extend SLB Bruce Norton for 66 mill and 4 years
I extend Marcus Liang three years for 6 mill
I cannot do FS Weber right now and will look for a franchise tag next year maybe
Do I want to extend OG Banks? Nope I’ll swap to OG Cunningham. He’s making 11 mill this year we’ll lose next.
I extend RB Devin Wheeler for another year
Weber is the only big miss next year. He wants 64 mill over 5 years. I could give him Bank’s contract next year.
What do I need for my roster?
OT backup
OG Backup
NT backup
1 new LB backup ish
CB backup
S backup
Roster options
Backup LB better than Gleason
Backup CB better than Cote
Backup TE to replace a dropping Fyie
I don’t have many open places in my starters.
I could go with a stud OG for Banks or Cunningham, or a stud OT for Kurtz. I’ll need, long erm, a replacement for DE Stevenson who’s 29 and expensive for someone that doesn’t get me a lot of sacks.
Studs
DE
OT
OG
We pick 1.31
I interview OT, OG, and DE and a RB or two and a pair of S for projects to replace Thomason.
Week 2 – OT Armstrong signs with Denver,
Week 3 – DT Heinlein signs with Houston
Week 5 – CB Cunningham signs with Detroit
Kendall Flannery doesn’t sign
