Evan Mathis
Brock Osweiler
Ronnie Hillman
Brandon Marshall
Malik Jackson
Danny Trevathan
C.J. Anderson
Brandon McManus
Oh! That's great! They will be forced to lose some of these players, right?
Probably not, because Manning retires and their cap space jumps up to $30 million.
I'm going to guess they lose maybe Jackson or Trevathan, as both will be wanting large-ish money in FA. Von will get paid and they can afford the rest, provided no one offers a huge deal for Brock.
They can also dump the aging DeMarcus Ware and their cap goes up to $40 mil. |
And you can add Ryan Clady who is under contract for $10 mil. Cutting him would leave a little over $1 mil in dead money and free up a little under $9 mil in cap space. He has already told the team that he is willing to restructure so we'll see how that goes.
