And then have nothing left for Luck, TY, Allen, etc. We can sign more, but not bust the bank. |

Luck is looking at a record deal though, so the cap can go up, but we're still going to need a lot of money to keep him and TY, who will be able to command near top dollar by the time he's a free agent. Keep in mind, as the cap goes up so do the contracts, by quite a large margin.And you'll be the one complaining in a couple of years when we're struggling to retain some of our top young talent. I'd love to sign both Davis and Byrd. I've said as much. Likely not a reality though. Edited by Bent20, Mar 11 2014, 04:22 PM.

If I've learned anything about Grigson, it's that he's a master at "tiering" his core players. Again, I ain't worried. I mean if Fleener wants to leave, I ain't gonna jump. Luck and Hilton aon't going anywhere. Next year Toler, Landry and Walden are candidates for the street, Reggie's deal is up, Redding's deal is up, as is Castonzo's Rookie deal. In 2016 the cap COULD escalate to 160M. Does any of this sound like a recipe for disaster?No way we can sign both Vontae and Byrd. Be glad if we can do one. Guard seems unlikely too. Center, S and NT. Edited by errsay, Mar 11 2014, 04:53 PM.

Yeah, you couldn't sign Jones, Davis, and Byrd for less than 25 million most likely, which would eat basically all of our leftover cap for 3 guys. It's Davis or Byrd in my mind, but not both. |

The Davis deal just took a huge chunk of the cap space. |
