$10.5m. I'm down for Lane Johnson in the first and maybe slightly overpaying an aging vet (McKinnie would be a really good option) for a year or two while Johnson plays RT for a year (he played both LT and RT at OU). I think we can find a solid project at OLB in the 3rd, not so easy with a LT, even though we're great at drafting OL in the mid rounds. There's a chance LJ isn't even there at 15, though. He had a good senior bowl.

ETA: Lacanforna has it at 9.8m in 2013.

Not a bad idea Blu has.
But I look at it as to where the biggest unknowns are. CSP knows what he has on the o-line. He knows a little bout what he has on the d-line and secondary as well. He knows he has one great MLB. To me the biggest unknown on this team is at OLB. There just isn't anyone there who's played a 3-4 in the NFL. After left OT this is where I would focus first in FA and that is not a very deep crop then address in the draft 1st and foremost.

I have said from the start that if Bushrod demands top dollar which he will, then let him walk. Let someone like detroit or Cincy pay him to be average. Use the money from Bushrod and whatever money you gain in restructuring deals to get a big time pass rusher in FA. If the money is there, people will want to come play with Brees and Payton. Getting a good DC from Baltimore or San Fran would only help to lure in top pass rushers.
