[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 862637, member: 10086"] By walking away from these 2 players. I’ve got Lane Taylor’s plus Jimmy Graham’s savings balancing out Crosby and Bulaga resigns in 2020. With some constructive application of two short term 2-3 year contracts we may even come away with a couple 2-3M to put towards our Cap pool. That would take care of 2 of our internal resign priorities and cancel out their contracts without feeling it. Leaves us needing another TE and backup OL. As far as Linsley, I like the guy, but he doesn’t play to 10.5M IMO. His departure seems like one of the final ways we can wisely restructure this years roster funds with a significant monetary advantage by saving over 8M towards the Cap/reallocating towards other resigning etc.. We have several players that have played Center, But we could also back that up by drafting his successor and that wouldn’t cost nearly as much with his successor being on a rookie contract for 4 years. Apply that over roughly 10M savings towards locking down Kenny on a long term deal now. He’s a necessary piece for us and he’s been consistently good. I realize we have other lower level players to sign plus reserve $, but GB should keep the throttle open and key on at least 2 positions of weakness in this years FA period. LB, TE, WR or DT Only other thing I’d prefer is that they hit LB and WR 2X each. Ideally some combination of veteran and 1st/2nd day draft pick in both departments. I’d take Those 2 areas into positions of strength next season. [/QUOTE]
