Actually, I am not uninformed. If they restructure the deal with Dak, it will take a lower hit than the full 31 on this year's cap space. We can probably save about 7 million there. another 7 million to go for Frederick's salary. Cutting Tyrone Crawford would be foolish until we see what Randy Gregory (who hasn't played in 2 years or Aldon Smith (who hasn't played for 5) does. I can see letting him go next year when the two gain some playing time and experience back in the thick of NFL action (which no practice can prepare you for). That leaves about 19 million. Yes. They would be able to make that contract work for less than this (Probably going to take 16-18 a year) unless he is nicer to us than the Jets. Defensively we have two players that we moved from the Panthers whose run defense was attrocious. We have Tyrone Crawford as potentially our best edge rusher, which will take no pressure off of Tank. We are well subpar in the cornerbacks group (despite my excitement for what our 2nd round pick will be able to do in the future). We could use an edge rusher, a corner upgrade, and a Jamal to make our defense stand out. 43 million in cap space goes a very long way toward making this happen, and doesn't lock us into salary cap hell for 4 years with a slightly above average NFL starting quarterback.
