I'd take him in an instant.

Bouye saves them 13 mil on the cut. That's interesting.

I'd still take a swing at Ramsey and see how tired of his shit they're getting.

This staff hasn't had problems finding and developing #2 corners. They can't find a top end guy to save their life.

A top end guy is most likely to come from the draft IMO. I don't see them going out and trading for someone like Peterson now.

I'd offer them a pick for Bouye. We'd get him at cap hits of $13 million over each of the next three seasons.

Yeah, but I don't really know that he's a legit #1 guy.

With them blowing everything out, I kinda wonder if Peterson is for sure on the block? I'd imagine he'd almost have to be.

Does Spagnuolo actually assign his CBs to WRs or do they just stay on their respective side of the field? If it's the latter does it really matter?

If you could get someone to give you their first or 2nd for Ford, i'd immediately take that and turn around and see if I could get Ramsey.

I latched on to OBJ last offseason and apparently the Rams were hot on that trail, I bet he ends up traded this offseason too.

We're likely going to be pretty comfortable with cap in 2020.

I think we could flip a late second for Bouye and sign another impact FA (Amos for example) and structure the contract to where we take hits in the second and third year.

Similar to how Sammy's deal was set up.

:-) Eagles have to let Nick Foles walk instead of a yag and trade, and the Broncos are interested.

2. Restructure Houston's contract. If you convert $10 million of his base salary into a signing bonus...then it gives you another $5 million in cap space this year and you can cut him after the 2019 season ($6.5 million in dead money vs. $17.5 million in cap savings).

3. Tag and trade Ford. I don't trust him to play DE in this defense and hold up against the run. He was good in stopping the run with his speed from the backside of the play but he wasn't great when teams ran right at him. Realistically....I'm looking at pick #44 in the 2nd round and a late 2020 pick from the Packers.

Berry likely stays. It's a 1 million dollar gamble that hes able to return and at least be at replacement level next year.

Houston isn't restructuring. Hes always refused. It's not wise to anyways. If hes not a great fit for this defense then cut him and save 14 mil.

Ford fits the 4-3 under perfectly for spags defense. He isn't going anywhere this off season.
