Don't think we have the war chest necessary for this unless we backload the hell out of the deals. I'm sure they could do that but it would be tough.

Went over this in another thread. We easily have enough to sign 3 of those guys and more (yes with backloading but not insane backloading).
After resigning Fairley and whatever other FAs we have and accounting for draft picks, and if we cut Byrd, we'll still have about $30 mil in space (plus another $4.6 mil after June 1st from Byrd).
A $5 mil hit on first year deals gets you 6 players (7 after June 1st). We have 63 or 65 guys signed and minimum players don't add to the cap.
Plenty of room to go all in if we wanted to. Not saying we should or shouldn't but we can.
