We need to clear some cap room.

Peppers will be franchised which will take up all the cap room we have and then some. Then we need to re sign Gross and have 4+ million just to sign draft picks.

So who gets re structured and who gets cut? Delhomme MUST get re structured or cut one way or the other but I think that only frees up about 6 million, still need more. So who gets the axe?

Note: as soon as peppers signs with another team we get that cap room back but we still need room to franchise him and sign free agents.

Alright, Pep is franchised.

Pep is traded to raiders for 1st and 3rd round pick.

We draft Aaron Maybin or Brian Orakpo. If Stafford slips to us, consider taking him.

Gross is resigned. Offensive line is still beastly then.

With Pep gone, cap room allows us to pick up a free agent like, Nhamdi Asomugha.

Defense looks like:

LE: Charles Johnson/Tyler Brayton

DT: Maake Kemeoatu

DT: Damione Lewis

RE: Aaron Maybin/Brian Orakpo

ROLB: Thomas Davis

MLB: Jon Beason

LOLB: Nai'll Diggs

CB: Nhamdi Asomugha

FS: Charles Godfrey

SS: Chris Harris

CB: Chris Gamble

NB: Richard Marshall

I don't think a franchised player's projected salary counts against the cap until he actually signs the offer sheet. He could reject the tag, not play and not get paid. Therefore, no cap hit until he accepts the tag.

we have 10 million in cap before pep and gross. Just to sign pep to a franchise tag we would have to cut lucas (nearly 10 million cap hit next season) Restructure Delhomme, cut landon johnson, hackett. Sign Gross and then trade pep, use our extra money on a de or dt in FA and a couple of mid to low tier guys then draft who ever we don't pick up in FA.

Cowboys traded a 1st, 3rd and 6th for Roy Williams.. KC got a 1 and two #3's for Jared Allen.. Expecting a 1st and 3rd for Peppers is realistic..

I agree and think it will be a HIGH first as well which bodes well. Depending on who is there I trade down, still get a DE I want and pick up more draft picks.

That sounds like a plan to me!

    • Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring. 
    • I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.
    • Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
