And heres my take only mine is realistic.
Firstly cutting Jeff Posey is not a bad idea and I agree Crowell should be elevated to starter. I believe he/spikes/fletcher manning the middle will be a FORCE.
Reducing Big Mikes pay is pretty much a given. Releasing him I believe gives us too big of a cap hit, and as clump already stated its pretty much a given he will be in a Bills uni next season.
Moulds as much as I hate to say it is probably gone, the lone Bill to be with this team and make a difference since 1996, he is likely gone after the season.
Clements is going to be a 50/50 shot. Clements will demand a contract similar in structure to Champ Bailey. Clements will command upwards of 50-60 mil, the CB position is the highest paid in football. Id love him here but I just dont see Donahoe paying out that kind of cash.
Instead I believe Clements will be in the same position as Price was, Franchised and traded for at the VERY LEAST a 1st rounder. At this point I would immediatley make moves to lock up McGahee long term. I would then lock up Jason Peters, this kid has been money at every position hes played for us.
Hutchinson is one of if not the best Guard in football, competition will be high as well as his price tag. He will not be in a Bills uni next season.
In the draft I would aim to pick up a starting calibur DT or OT, whichever is the best available at our pick. With our second pick the same and/or CB.
In FA I dont expect much noise again this year, perhaps a replacement for Moulds....and perhaps attention to our OL.
The wildcard here is our front office, year to year there is no rhyme or reason. We will either be big time players or hardly any activity at all. And with teams like Cleveland, Arizona, Minnesota, San Diego, and Cincinnatti all between 20-32 million UNDER the cap (assuming it goes to 90 mil) there will be far bigger spenders out their then us.
Hutchinson could land anyone of those OL desperate places.
