So with cap space, Jaycee’s deal created 9m in space, Tuttle restructure created 3m in space. 
 

need to see the first year of each deal to see where they stand. Team had around 29-30m in space for today’s deals.

Reading tea leaves: 

The draft is pretty solid at DT (3-4 DE).  I don't think Wharton, and Brown change the fact that we could draft one.

Pat Jones does not eliminate a need at Edge. I think we will draft a pure pass rusher. 

We are still razor thin at CB.  Getting Jackson back was huge for us, however.  I am not sure how much they like Evans and Bartholomew, but both (especially Evans) played pretty well down the stretch.  Good enough depth?  Conspiracy theory:  Draft Will Johnson and play Jackson at nickel. 

It seems to me that we now have 2 Strong Safeties.  We need a free safety or two.

I heard nothing about TE or WR today.  Does that mean we will draft those positions?  I really like about 4 Tight Ends in this draft, maybe 5.  WR?  I think the draft is more of a gamble, but I am wondering about TMac right now.

The focus in free agency on defense makes sense.  Evero has types and in free agency, you can match a skill set to your needs with more precision than the draft.  The focus was on stopping the run, and with the exception of Wharton, every defensive player excels in that area. Pass rush is still a concern, imo.

Maybe we still go after Jevon Hollander

We just lost our 1st UFA Lonnie Johnson to the Raiders

Gotta say, I really like what they have done. After the Milton debacle I had lost hope, but everything since then has been solid. One thing I’m iffy on is the Vikings DE, I don’t know too much about him so I have no clue if the contract is good there. Not taking away from him getting a bag, I just mean for cap purposes.

I am relieved the Milton deal fell through--about like I was when Cleveland stole Watson from us.

Yes, after looking at what he signed for, he’s not better than Brown and him getting more would be wild.

Yeah Brown is a better fit to meet our biggest need.  Wharton can come in and rush the passer--7 sacks?  Pretty solid.

The wr market has also been insane as marginal guys like joshua palmer and dynami brown are getting overpaid

Yea he took a 3.5m cut in pay but can earn it back with incentives.
