Dam. Its gonna be a wide 9 vet to teach the youngins what to do. TE and especially WR will be further down the want list than FS and CB LT will be even further down the list. Fisher will be the starter in 2022 with another season to get healthy

We have very little money spare, we are not going to be big players in free agency guys. We have so many of our own free agents that we might need to resign. Now some of the lower level guys are just going to replace the existing lowest contract value so won't take up any space off the available cap space. But i can see some of the lower guys who we might want to keep such as Pryor, Reed, Turay, Lewis, Odum earning significantly more than they are currently earning. Lets just say for arguments sake they average $4m each, thats $20m. Are we going to resign Fisher, he is likely to get similar to last year @ $8-9m, Alie-Cox might expect $5m. Stallworth, Dulin, Adams, Franklin, are each likely to get paid $2m each. So we have already taken $42m just to resign some of our own. What does that leave us with $15m, for a new QB, WR, CB, DE etc. We are not about to be splashing the cash, as we simply don't have that much. If Doyle retires that would give some more cap space, but another position of need to fill.

Name - 2021 salary
Fisher - 8.3m
Hilton - 8.0m
Glowinski - 5.4m
Rhodes - 4.8m
Alie-Cox - 3.4m
Pascal - 3.4m

We don't have enough free cap space to sign more than 1 or 2 "name" FAs this off season. Most of our free cap will be used in $2 - $5m chunks to re-sign our own (Odum, Pryor, Reed, etc).

Of those one or two "name" signings, my priority would be: LT, WR, CB, TE.

However, none of it will really matter until we get a winner at QB which Wentz is not, IMO.

This is mostly my point of this thread. I keep seeing "sign this guy" comments, and the reality is we just won't have that luxury. we need to fill spots of expiring contracts.

Exactly. The Colts can go moving money and playing cap games to chase overpriced talent and it accelerates the cap issues.

Colts were like 10-20 plays away from having home field throughout the playoffs...players need to work and improve in the off season, a good draft will put this team in the hunt next season! Find an experienced, knowledgeable former QB, who is an expert on identifying defenses and going through progressions, pay him a boatload to work with Carson in the off season and offer him bonuses contingent on Wentz's improvement and success next season! If we don't have the cap to get a proven franchise QB, we can pay top dollar to try to develop what we do have in Wentz!

I don't think Wentz is just doing this for the money...I believe he is a competitor and wants to win a championship, looks like he is going to get one more year, he'd better make the most of it!

There will be an article about every edge rusher out there being a fit with us. Don’t think we should sign a top one. Like it or not we have spent so much draft capital on ends we must get some return so I’m for seeing what they can do. I want us to overpay for one of the top wide receivers. We haven’t spent as much in way of draft capital and rookie wide receivers have a difficult time making an impact. We need an impact wide receiver now, not in 2-3 years.

Cole Beasley anyone? He's aging, but is still very productive as a slot WR, which we can really use.
