We are definitely being smart, but also keep in mind we have no Fitz on books or the pile of guys we signed to 1-year deals. Or Allen. Or Scherff. Or Leno. Or Thomas. Etc. We shouldn't resign Scherff, but his deal alone would be almost a third of our cap space (on annualized basis).

One thing I loved when RR asked about Moses, why cut, he said Moses didn't do anything wrong, was good player, they just wanted to give young guys playing time. SO LONG since we've seen that kind of mentality. You don't pay Kerrigan. You cut Moses. You build primarily through the draft. All the sudden you have lots of good players and cap space. We could have been less aggressive in thinking long term and easily have half the cap space next year.

I think next year is a year we bid adios to the last of the holdovers. I think we'll draft S, LB, CB on D, and then OL,RB, etc.
