Current players under contract: 59
Current cap space: ~$17.25 million
(Bleacher Report says $31 million, minus $9.75 for McCoy and $4.75 for Cassell, plus 750k for Kiko). FYI this doesn't include the rookie cap allocation, so the amount the team can spend is actually less.
Draft picks: 6 (none in the first round, only 3 in the first 5 rounds).
UFA's and RFA's:
C.J. Spiller UFA
Kyle Orton UFA
Jerry Hughes UFA
Erik Pears UFA
Brandon Spikes UFA
Keith Rivers UFA
Da'Norris Searcy UFA
Chris Hairston UFA
Marcus Easley UFA
Lee Smith UFA
Jarius Wynn UFA
Stevenson Sylvester UFA
Larry Dean UFA
Marcus Thigpen RFA
Corbin Bryant ERFA
Chris Hogan ERFA
Jordan Gay ERFA
Clearly, Spiller and Orton have been replaced. But this team has < $17.25 million and 6 draft picks (only 3 in the first 5 rounds) to:
1. Upgrade the OL
2. Re-sign or replace Searcy
3. Re-sign or replace Hughes
4. Re-sign or replace Spikes
5. Upgrade TE
6. Do something about DL Depth (Bryant and Wynn are both unsigned)
7. Do something about WR depth (Hogan and Thigpen are both unsigned)
8. Do something about OL depth (I'm no big fan of Pears or Hairston but without them we don't even have enough bodies)
Ouch.
And people wonder why I'm concerned.
