Rotoworld FA forecast...

Nicks 1 yr $4 million....Travelle 2yr $8 million.....Capt 3 yr $12

Most FAs are anticipated to go in the $4-8 million range. The best DEs are in the $8-9 million range. Hardy is better than the other DEs, but not 50% more. I can't see us paying more than $11 million/ yr, which would be less that CJ. Hopefully, he is open to what his REAL market value is not intent at getting CJ money.

I think we'll sign Hardy to a longterm deal averaging about $9-11 million/year but with a cap hit of like $5-6 million this year. Would open up a lot of options for FA, especially if Godfrey gets cut (which he should) and Smitty gets cut (I absolutely hate this decision if it's true, and complete disagree with it, but we still would need to look at the positive aspects of the team). Then we could sign Nicks and maybe even a legit tackle or corner and address other positions via the draft. The outlook ain't too bad.
