UFA/possible cutsLT Clifton: 5,703,125
*Clifton can be cut, retire, or go the way of Mark Tausher and Al Harris. His knees are gone and Ted has invested two 1st round picks into OTs. between Sherrod, Newhouse, or a rookie we should land a quality tackle.
RB Ryan Grant: 4,750,000
WR Driver: 5,600,000
*5.6 million dollars is way too much for a 4th reciever (5th?), great guy.. but we need the room.
CB Jarrett Bush: 1,733,333
TE Jermichael Finley: 1,363,250
QB Matt Flynn: 571,043
DT Howard Green: 810,000
CB Pat Lee: 765,000
OLB Erik Walden: 584,750
C Scott Wells: 3,350,000
TOTALS:8 UFAs clears (roughly) 14 million.
if you cut Clifton and Driver the number is closer to 25 million in cap space. An additional 3.4 million becomes available if Nick Collins retires.
it seems like a lot of room, but you have to factor all the contracts that get a bump this year, and rookie contracts. cap fills up fast.
Estimated contracts of FA targetsC Scott Wells: 4 million yearly avg. (similar to Jeff Saturday)
OLB Mario Williams: 10-11 million yearly avg. (similar to Demarcus Ware)
TE Jermichael Finley: 5.4 million franchise tag
