How I think Dan Morgan will approach the off-season.

1. Looking at cap space were in a pretty good spot after maybe one or two cuts, plus restructures. I'm not sure if OTC has our roll over included but I predict between 70 and 80 million. That should put us top ten but several teams will have over a 100million and Seahawks, Rams, and Ravens will have just as much as us. 2. Everyone knows the needs, edge, ILB, and Oline are my top three. I know everyone wants to improve wr3, Fs, and get a te1 but those are secondary needs. Also I think Dan really likes the udfa Thornton so we're kinda set at cb. 3. FA: I think we'll get out bid for Trey Hendrickson or most of the top edge rushers unless we break the bank. Maybe we could snag Mack or Reddick on a one year deal but a lot of teams have a ton of cap space so I can see Dan going after 2 lower level edge players. ILB is where we could get the most bang for our buck as the top end salaries are comparatively low. There's some interesting names like Bush, Lloyd, and Dean, plus a few others that could really solidify the middle. 4. Oline will be tough to address in FA because teams rarely let a good tackle go and Dan recently said he wants some cost controlled salaries since we have the 6th highest paid Oline. We need to resign some of depth guys but that wouldn't break the bank. 5. The draft is anybodies guess but I would bet good money we aren't giving up picks for Maxx Crosby(sorry I just think that's a pipe dream with all the holes we have). Dan wants to build through the draft so I definitely think we take another edge, unless we sign two mid level players, an Oline, and ILB with the first three picks. 6. Wr and TE are gonna be tough, I doubt Likely or Pitts will even hit the market. Njoku probably will cause the Browns are in cap hell. If we can get him or Goedert that'd be awesome but again we'll have to outbid teams like the Titans that will have more cap than us. Wr3, obviously we all want XL to take that next step but someone like Wandale Robinson could really help us out in the slot. We should be able to find a relatively cheap option.

7. Wanted to add that an extension to Mike Jackson should be a top priority.
