If it were up to me and I had a hotline to the GM, these are some free agent and draft suggestions that I would offer.
Unwieldy Contracts —-
- LT D.J. Humphries: Trade, release or agree to a reasonable new contract. Frees up $14.3M. Kelvin Beachum played well at LT and Josh Jones is a budding talent at RT.
- DT Jordan Phillips: Release. Frees up $4.1M in cap space (still having to eat $9.2M). But the rhetorical question becomes is Phillips worth the $4.1M to keep him on the roster?
