Level 2:

danielle restructure is a no-brainer, unless someone sends a godfather offer in the next 48 hours or so.

They'll still probably want more after that, so they could keep restructuring Saints style, but reports are that they're gonna offload a vet

Pierce...

That would be my guess as well. Watts can man the NT for far cheaper.

I hope they can work out a deal to keep Thielan too…

After the Cousins' extension the #Vikings are roughly $2M over the cap.

Ways to create $5M+ in cap:

$13.785M Danielle Hunter restructure
$8.5M Michael Pierce post June-1st cut
$7.57M Eric Kendricks trade
$7.447M Harrison Smith restructure
$7.35M Adam Thielen restructure

All but trading Kendricks(restructure?) & we’re in good shape, shoot Brez can fix this by dinner…

Sidetrack from our beloved Vikings but in looking at Spotrac the last few days how good is it to be the Bengals:
 
1 - Joe Burrow  - 2022  Cap hit  9 million,    2023 Cap hit 11.5 million    (I wonder if they will do his fifth yr option
2 - youngest team age wise for players under contract
3 - Currently 7th most CAP space at 37 million under
4 - Chase on a 4 yr rookie deal - 2022 Cap hit 7million

That Front Office has a solid 3 years to really put them over the Top - or not

Tick...Tick

1-Kirk extended with him getting more and us saving on CAP
2 - Punter 
3 - was it McGill/DT

waiting for some excitement from the new regime.  I am now hearing that we only extended Kirk to flip him over to TB for Brady.  Brady wants to play in cold weather (makes the post-game hot tub even better) plus pay more State taxes....dude is a crazy liberal humanitarian.

I'm confused, are they under the cap now that Pierce was released?

Yes, but only by like $2.5MM meaning they can't do anything big until others are restructured or released.

So we under or…?

With Hicks, no. They have until 3pm tomorrow central time, I believe, to get back under
