Based on all of that, the only two players I for sure move on from are Sorensen and Ragland. They just aren’t good enough to warrant keeping. Less about cap space than just the quality of the player there IMO.

I don’t see them getting rid of Berry yet just because it’s so damn difficult to do it with any financial upside. Then again, if that heel is going to continue to be a problem and they aren’t fixing it, the June 1 option looks alright.

Houston is the big ? for 2019 as well as Ford because I don’t see KC getting rid of both this year. I’d let them play for their salaries here in the next month. Prove their worth when it matters most.

I’m keeping Watkins in ‘19 just because of how lethal the offense can be if the full set of playmakers are available. Then I think you absolutely cut him in 2020 for the extra $14M.

We’ve got some trash contracts on the books right now but I am excited to see where this thing can go in the next couple years. If we’re being honest, we’ve more or less wasted a ton of cap dollars this year on guys who are not earning their checks, and yet here we are on the verge of 12-4 and the #1 seed in all likelihood. So imagine if that situation gets better.

I’d keep Ragland for one more year. He is still on his rookie deal another season and can at worst be a backup. He’s solid depth if he can lose weight and try to get faster this offseason.

Man, $75 million and a 1st-rounder on our front and we might be even worse than this year with no Ford and Jones changing positions. I don't like the idea of reaching (or overpaying) for need, but we really need to throw a LOT of shit at DB and hope a good bit of it sticks, IMO.

ILB isn't the toughest position to patch over, and we have some bodies up front (whether it's proven players or recent picks or "formerly good" players like Hitchens), but that defensive backfield is a total ****ing wasteland with no light at the end of the pitch-black tunnel right now. I've always been a guy who thinks pass-rush, pass-rush, pass-rush, too, but the play of our D this year, with this secondary and in spite of a good pass-rush, has definitely changed my perspective on that.
