Reworking players contracts will give us cap space but it is likely going to cost cash in signing bonuses or changing base salary to bonuses. Between Bowe, Hali, Parker, Hudson, and Colquitt not to mention the other glaring holes that need filled with better than we cut, not everything can be filled on the cheap or from the draft.
This last off season we did dick and then signed Alex Smith. I think we will spend to fill holes every where else and pay Houston next year. The franchise tag number is $11.455M for an OLB. That is not going to be that much different than what his actual first year number will be on his new contract.
