Plenty of others but they're not cap consequential.



Then next year we'd have to decide whether to resign or replace:



- Garcon

- Perry Riley

- Chris Baker

- Jordan Reed (big $)



So as we think about all of our cap space we have to consider that money needs to be set aside for those guys, and if we're not going pay them, then we have to figure out how we're going to replace them before we consider bringing in an Alex Mack.



It's this kind of long view that leads Scot McCloughan to conclude that the best plan is draft draft draft, and resign your own. Mack is not a fit.

Eff Perry Riley. Lol.
Totally agree with this. We do have some re-signing to do with our cap space, but my God its good to have it.
Especially when we have a full compliment of draft picks and arguably the best GM in the league handling that. (It still feels strange to be able to say that). We have only seen one seasons worth of results from such things, wait until we have 2-5 more contributors after this draft! We are witnessing a team being built the right way for the first time in decades. In the first year we won a division title!
Mack does not fit into the process here, unless like JR said - the price is rite, and unless Mack has a hard on to play for the Skins, it will not be his rite price. Oh well, we will get a starting center out of this draft along with some secondary n dline help. Draft happens to be deep in all our areas of need.
