Mickey is going to earn his money.

1) Colston - time to go. Really slow...doesn't threaten a defense at all. Need a replacement big bodied WR in FA.

2) 2 new inside linebackers - i think I read that Lofton and Hawthorne are due over 11,000,000 in salary and bonuses in 2015. Cuts?

3) 2 new corners - white is done. Robinson is close. We likely will have a core of Lewis, Dixon, and Baptiste...need a very solid #2 veteran to start next year.

4) Oline needs changes--need a center and a guard.

5) Given the last 3 weeks, we need to come up with a new RB plan. I'm not sure Pierre is in the future. Khiry is cheap. Ingram is a baller...but how much would he cost?

Not sure how we accomplish all of that with our cap struggles.

Lofton will get restructured. Hawthorne is gone.

I think Evans is gone, as is Colston.

Drew is going to restructure. So will a few other players I would imagine.

1. Colston is gonna take a paycut, or june 1 cut. His cap is 9.7mil and 5.4 is dead (4.3 is savings) if outright cut.

2. The way Lofton is playing right now, he's going to stay even with a 9mil cap hit (5.0mil dead; 4.0mil savings) - I think he'll get an extension or restructure that's why. Hawthorne is gone though imo, 6.01mil cap hit (3.02mil dead; 2.99mil savings)

3. Robinson has played solid since game 1 and 2. He can stay on a small contract imo.

4. Agreed. Grubbs or Evans goes, but I don't think both.

Grubbs: 9.6mil cap (6.0mil dead; 3.6mil savings)
Evans: 11mil cap (5.0mil dead; 6.0mil savings)

We better not think either of these is better than a 4th corner next season.

PT is starting to get old, no? He's still balling, but they probably need to start looking out for that wall RBs eventually hit.

This or the draft.

Lofton has played very well so he'll likely restructure.

Hawthorne maybe.

Robinson has played well enough to stay on as a number 3. We need a decent #2 CB in FA.

We can just draft one late.
