can we sign alex, manny, goldson, and franklin and a 1st round pick with our salary cap?

we can i project between 43 and 51M in cap space for next season.

I figure 5M for Alex, 5M for Dashon, 7M for Aubrayo and 5M for Manny then another 6M for draftees

So thats 28M used, so its doable, then McDonald(1.5M), Spikes(3M), save $7M for emergencies during season.

That leaves 16.5M so we could sign a few FAs nothing big tho, i think we have learned it isnt a good idea to sign FAs to big deals.

Then we could extend Gore, Spencer and Smith if we wanted too with clever structuring.

So, I honestly dontt see all 4 making it next yr(Dashon, Manny, Aubrayo and Alex), 1 is gone IMO. Most likely is Aubrayo if RJF shows promise, if not then Dashon is gone.

Only $5 million for the starting QB position? IMO, your price is too low. Jake Delhomme 2-year contract with the Browns earns him $7 million this year. Kyle Orton just got a one-year $9 million extension. If Smith is worth re-signing, his price will be somewhere between $7 and $12 million depending on his performance.

If Alex Smith can lead the team to the playoffs, re-sign him. Anything less, give him the boot.

Why does everyone want to keep Manny? He set's the edge and everything, but we need a god damn passrusher there.

Actually we need a pass-rusher at the Will, I'm one of the very few who think Manny's doing a great job where hes at. I think its gonna be a mistake if we let him walk, he solidifies the Sam. What they need to do is start Brooks full time once hes healthy again and put Haralson back to a pass-rushing role.

I agree, the Will is probably better than Sam for the pass rush, but are you going to pay Lawson big bucks, when we can draft someone to do his job at a fraction of the cost.

No, Gore will be 29 when his contract is up. You going to give a 29 year old runningback an extention when we got Dixon waiting in the wings?

To be honest, Yes, I would. Lawson is still young at 26 yo, so I'd probably give him a 3-4 contract. We know what we have in Lawson, a draft pick could very well turn out to be Vernon Gholston. Besides we still need to draft a OLB/Will/Sam, Laboy and Briggs are not guarantees either, shoot neither is Haralson.
