simple offseason plan

I think we keep Kalil because we need a back up LT anyway. If we have to pay him anyway, might as well take the hit and keep him 1 more year.

We have a bigger out next season, that is for sure but he would be one of the least capable backups on the roster. I would certainly argue that couch free agent Chris Clark was more effective than Kalil.

Some of these moves might seem drastic, but after last year we need to make some changes. The two on this list I feel are unlikely to happen are Mario and Poe. But Poe’s last year was terrible, and the dude is just fat. Below are my recommendations. If I am off in any of these numbers then please let me know. 

Cuts:
Matt Kalil – Saves $7.25 mil (June 1, $9.8 mil cap hit 2020). 
Torrey Smith – Saves $5 mil.
Captain Munnerlyn – Saves $2 mil. The guy is just bad. We could save more as a June 1, but no need to eat into cap next year.
Mario Addison – Saves $6 mil. We could save more as a June 1 cut, but we will need his cap room in free agency. 
Dontari Poe – Saves $6 mil. (June 1, $3.33 mil cap hit in 2020).
Da’Norris Searcy – Saves $1.76 mil.
Vernon Butler – Saves $1.5 mil

I am in favor for cutting Gano, but from what I can see his contract does not give us a smart money out. Let me know if I am in correct.
This adds $29.51 mil in cap room and about $46 mil (less Eric Reid’s 2019 salary). I expect other small players to be cut adding another $2-3 mil and the cap to rise. This year we do not have a lot of significant current roster to sign. 

I am a fan of re-signing Daryl Williams. It is not a risky move if you do it correctly and it gives us two tackles, something we have not had in a long time. It also clears the need for OT in the first 3 rounds. This way we focus on D-line (after making necessary cuts and interior O-line (LG and C). Few depth guys to look at: Kyle Love, Wes Horton, and David Mayo are all someone to look at.

Free Agents:
The only spot I want to spend significant money on is our other safety spot. This is a deep Safety FA class. Earl Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, Ha-Ha, but my favorite Landon Collins. I think we play it smart and lay low. Make one big move at S, then let the market fizzle out then add a DE or DT in free agency.

Draft:
Round 1: DE/DT
Round 2: Center (from what I see, thus far, it is a deep center draft).
Round 3: DE/DT x2 (I believe we have two 3rds).

I cant see us cutting 7 players. We already have numerous spots to fill. We cant add 7 more spots to fill. 

But, Captain, Torrey and Searcy are no brainers. They should be cut.
