Zeller/EJ/lottery protected 1st for Richards/Cha '25 & 28 2nds and give us back our '27 2nd they own.

that leaves us $1.6M to sign Matt Ryan and somoene else to get to 14.

Can we even sign 2 guys for only 1.6m? If not, i cant see them going into the tax for Richards

There’s still also the possibility of moving Naji for picks, which frees up money to sign Ryan and do a veteran buyout or a trade for a small contract. There are plenty of teams with either a TE or enough space to take him without sending anything back.

NYK, IND, or ORL are all teams with lots of 2nds that would make sense as trade partners.

If we don’t see a realistic veteran buyout option, moving Naji for someone like Isaiah Jackson or Nick Richards would make sense for both teams. Gives us a little more versatility and has the added bonus of taking a club out of Willie’s bag.

Would be impossible to stay under the tax, cannot sign two players with 1.6 million
