I don't think that Rob Jackson is a given as a re-signing, but there may be a couple of other re-signings.

I like your list of possible FA signings. Signing both Byrd and Talib may be a dream but they would be my first choices at their positions. Like you, I think we need to sign proven players at FS and CB.

We're probably going to cut a boatload of players who are paid in the $400K to $700K range, maybe as many as 10-15. That would save $4.5MM - $7.5MM, enough to replace them with inexpensive FA's and drafted players.

Carrier Bowen AND Golston? Who would you have starting on the line? That'd be quite a revamp, they'd have to sign replacements. I bet you are right on at least one of them but all three sounds like leaving the line too thin.

With Jackson I feel like he will look around and test the market and find no takers, and Bruce will sign him late in the FA process on the cheap. All it takes though is one team, like Lorenzo Alexander.

On the vet minimum guys, remember that if you sign one like that, he bumps someone out of the top 51, so the net cap hit is pretty much negligible. You can sign almost all the guys in the world at vet min with very little cap hit. I agree, they will prob pick up plenty like this, I bet many are Bengals second teamers. I didn't bother to list this because there's practically no net impact on the cap.
