Our strategy with the cap has been pretty clear. We're only going to pay the premium players (Lockett, DK, Russ, Brown) and then fill the rest of the roster with solid drafts and mid-tier players with plenty of upside and decent salaries. Like Dunlap, Diggs, Moore, etc.. We're top heavy in some positions with solid depth in others.
In 2 years, we'll likely get rid of Reed's contract. I really don't think this is a major problem at all. Expect a defense ranked #10 to #20 at best as opposed to a LOB defense where Kam, Avril, Bennett, Earl, Sherman, and BB are getting paid. I'm not worried about this at all. We'll be fine.
