I'd be really aggressive if one of those guys is actually available.
If you can sign Bolton to a fair deal do it. You probably have to pick between guys like Reid and Wharton. Doubt you can keep them both. But again, I'm more willing to pay for young defensive guys to keep things going on that side of the ball, than offensive free agents. The only way to manage the cap is to pay to play on defense, and improve the offensive through the draft.
If you keep a dude like Wharton, maybe drafting a DT in the first round isn't so critical and it allows you to take whatever OT that falls, OR simply pick the best playmaker available. WR/RB/CB/DL. There is absolutely no way in hell I'm going to pop for a TE in the first three rounds of this draft. NOT HAPPENING.

The window will close anyway. We have lost 1 HOF player when we traded Tyreek, Kelce is aging out and only Mahomes and Jones remain.
When Jones is done the window closes and we need to reload.
