The money is available through cooperative restructring via Brunell, Springs and Portis. With that restructuring before the CBA agreement, it allowed us to get on the job quicker than most teams. Lets face it, it's hard to get almost one player to re-structure today. Next on our target John Abraham or Andre Carter. Then Collins (QB) and then wait for the draft.

when they kicked mccants i highly doubt they knew R'El and lloyd and fauria wouldn't sign extensions etc. the restructuring pre cba DIDN'T happen. it was contigent on the CBA failing, and with a new cba, none of them went through.

most of the cash is prorating an extra year and turing all kinds of bonuses to SB to prorate that.

i think carter is the guy so we save a pick to address one need (OL most likely, possibly LB or CB) cheaply. the others need a FA solution.
