    Hard to restructure Julio's contract. His contract is fully guaranteed.

    He would have to value not being in Atlanta over guaranteed money. I would take the guarantee personally. Of course, if he believes he stands a better chance of winning a ring elsewhere, that could do it too, but don’t see the Patriots being that close yet.

    When compared to Smith it might be hard to find a guy that good. Smith has special speed. As for YPC they are close.

    Now this issue about blocking is perplexing since they both have identical PFF rankings as run blockers. Not to mention there is this oddity that Smith is considered a real good blocker and he wasn't. Smith was good enough he wasn't a liability but Firkser can basically handle that role. Plus Swain will be the run blocker with Firkser more of the pass catcher anyway.

    Bottom line is Firkser is capable of being starter material. Blocks good enough and is above average at getting open and catching the ball. His hands are better than Smith. And no, we don't need to find someone with more name recognition to satisfy the fans, to pay more money. Let the UDFAs and a few cheap vets fight it out for the 3rd spot.

    So I read a Tannehill restructure would put us @ $20 mill cap space?
