We have 116 million before cuts, releases and restructures. My guess is we'll use 75-80 million. Shahan has some tendencies I'm taking into account for.
Sign
Weston Richburg Center Giants- 4 years 27 million, 15 million guaranteed, 8 million cap year 1
Andrew Norwell Gaurd Panthers- 5 years 60 million, 30 guaranteed, 12 million cap year 1
Jordan Mathews WR Bills- 5 years 50 million, 25 guaranteed, 10 million cap year 1
Beashaud Breeland CB Redskins, 5 years 50
Million, 25 guaranteed, 10 million year 1
Jimmy G 8 years 200 million, 100 guaranteed, 25 million cap year 1
Restructure/extend-
Jimmie Ward- 4 years 24 million, 6 guaranteed, cap year 1 6 million
Jaquiski Tartt- 4 years 24 million, 12 guaranteed, 6 cap year 1
Resign
Tank, Marsh, Coyle,
Cut
Beadles
Entering Draft
Pass Rusher is our only remaining pressing need.
Draft-
1. Harold Landry Leo Boston College- he'll be there at 9 or 10 and we get our pass rusher day 1
2. Auden Tate WR Florida State- 6'5 redzone threat. Never had a good QB. Jimmy G will love this guy. 10 td's as a rookie
3a. Frank Ragnow C/G Arkansas- we solidify our OL with this pick. Could start opposite Norwell or be a backup at 3 interior spots. Future Center longterm.
3b. Quentin Meeks CB Stanford- Breeland starts but our depth chart was pretty bare here. In my head I have Ward moving back to CB at least to cover the slot. This makes 5 CB's worthy of the field. Group has some depth now
4. Josh Sweat DE Florida State- can compete at Sam and Leo. Another position group lacking depth solidified.
5. Jeff Holland OLB Auburn- after missing out on pass rushers in free agency we continue to add depth to Sam and/or Leo. Holland is only 6'1-6'2 but productive. Sweat has measurables and lacked production. One not both fall. But after going Landry early I see us adding depth later.
6. Akrum Wadley RB Iowa- loaded RB class. We finally grab one. Will grab a veteran in late free agency after letting Hyde get overpaid by someone else.
7a. late round DB in a loaded class
7b. Late round OT to develop ala Brown
Final thoughts- with a revamped offensive line this becomes the Jimmy show. One of the young RB's breaks out. I'm confident Breida can start behind this line if he was to win the job in Camp. Williams or Wadley compete with a vet for snaps. Jimmy has 8 years and plenty of weopons. We get 2017 pricing on Mathews who we should have drafted but I'm confident he can get back to his 3 Year Eagles production and be a bargain. Love our depth created at 4 pressing spots of Interior OL, WR, CB, Pass Rusher. We could potentially trade down a few spots and still get Landry. But his floor is the packers at 14...Risky at RB letting Hyde walk and waiting till 6th. I see them being thrifty at RB just like I see them going all in st OL with veteran free agents. 8 years means nothing except headlines. We get him at 25 per and guarantee 100. He becomes first 200 million in the sport. Win win. Alex just got 23.5/94/71 guaranteed. Our depth allows us to sustain an injury anywhere but QB and not take a big step back.
WR- Garçon, Mathews, Goodwin, Tate, Taylor (Garçon can be released after this year. Mathews replaces him with a bigger body and similar skill set. Tate becomes our red zone guy, Taylor still used between the 20's, Can't defend this group)
CB- Witherspoon, Breeland, Ward, Meeks, Williams
Leo/Sam- Landry, Dumerville, Marsh, Watson, Harold, and Sweat or Holland
OL Staley, Norwell, Richburg, Ragnow, Brown
Garnett backup Gaurd, Ragnow backup center
Projected spending 75 million before small contracts and draft. I'd love suggestions to make this better.
