Cap Space & Looming Free Agents

This...happens far more often than the alternative situation proposed.

 

Id say cut Cam Wake and Dion Lewis, keep Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, Logan Ryan, Leshaun Sims, and Jack Conklin but maybe just let Dennis Kelly take over his job since he's been performing better and for Wesley Woodyard he's mentored the up and coming Brown and Evans plus he's not getting any younger. . The rest of the players are just average talent. Oh and draft a OLB, TE, and maybe draft another WR in the middle to late rounds.

 

There’s like 3 names that demand actual money.
A couple ST players are keepers.

I thought Logan Ryan was also due?

Couple names are easy drops too.
Dirksen?
Pamphile would be a joke. He probably shouldn’t be able to collect his checks for this season.

 

4-5 I say have to be resigned. The rest can be replaced or upgraded if they don’t want to sign friendly deals

 

You forgot yoda

 

Tannehill, Henry, and Ryan are the only must keeps. Conklin and Kelly are in the like to have, but could be replaced by a draft pick or FA if we can't keep them. And Firkser, Sharpe, Correa, and Bates are in the nice to have but can be replaced category.

Aside from that, the rest are solid role guys that aren't anything head and shoulders above other guys we can find on the street. Just the nature of the NFL.

 

I think conk has played beyond “nice to have”. That would be a tough replacement.

Sharpe and firkser are good depth guys. Cost may not be too much for 2nd/3rd stringers.

Correa can walk.

Bates is a really good STer. Not sure how easily replaced that is but usually isn’t too costly to keep anyway.

 

I would sign Conk over Ryan. He has rebounded nicely and having a solid RT is crucial for this offense. We have two starting cb’s already.
