Over the cap has us at 10.7mil in cap space right now and is is completely updated as far as I can tell outside of Tim Boyle. Neither Spotrac or overthecap has him in so I'm guessing his reported details are not official. I will assume it is 2.5mil for now, but it is possible they added a voided year to lower his number a little. Either way his signing would push the 51st contract off the roster and that is 780k so that would put us at 8.9mil in cap space. Not sure what Kalif Raymond got who we just signed, but I doubt it is much more then the minimum. Here is what I would do with that money.
Damontae Kazee 1 year 3mil 2mil signing bonus with 2 voidable years making a year one cap hit of about 1.5mil. This guy was a turnover machine in 2018 and 2019 getting 10 INT's and leading the league with 7 in 2018. Obviously he is coming off injury which is why he is cheap, but he played in 48 game in his first three years.
Kenny Vacarro 1 year 1.5mil. He has familiarity with Glenn as they were together in 2017 so they would know him well. He isn't a great player by any means, but could play that 3rd safety role well especially as an in the box safety on early downs.
K'Waun Williams 1 year 2.5mil with 1.5mil signing bonus and 1 voidable year making a year one cap hit of 1.75mil. Contract is in line with other nickel backs who have signed. You could also replace him with Brian Poole or Robey-Coleman, IMO. All three have been very solid in the nickel and would add a nice veteran presence at CB.
Alex Anzalone 1 year 1mil Obviously there is familiarity there and in 2020 he showed a few glimpses of why he was drafted in the 3rd round. He is a nice depth signing and maybe he can continue to develop into a potential starter.
Trai Turner 1 year 6mil with a 4mil signing bonus and 2 voidable year making his year one cap hit 3.33mil. He is going to settle for a prove it deal coming off injury, but I love this signing. He was considering one of the best guards in the game a couple years ago and is still only 27. Anthony Lynn coached him in LA last year so there is a connection. IMO his signing would solidify this O-Line and allow Big V and Crosby to compete at RT. We would then have the making of a top 10, maybe even top 5 O-Line.
All in all they would count a total of 9.08mil. They would have to replace someone on the top 51 and currently the cheapest contract on the roster is 780k. That would be a total of 3.9 mil. So 9.08mil - 3.9mil is 5.18mil against the cap. That leave us with roughly 3.7 mil left in cap space.
Draft
Rumor is the Patriots are extremely interested in Justin Fields and Trey Lance with a major crush of Fields. That could be a smokescreen, but they really need a young QB. Supposedly they plan on being aggressive is finding one.
Patriots make the move to jump up to #7 to take Justin Fields and give up 15, 46, and a 2nd in 2022 for #7.
#15 Micah Parsons, MLB He appears to be slipping a little in the eyes of the national media. Could that be that they are starting to get a clearer picture as they get more intel from teams? Regardless there is a very good chance he falls out the top 10 and it is not unreasonable he is sitting there at 15.
#41 Kadarious Tony, WR I think he adds a completely different element to this offense that we don't currently have. Poor mans Tyreek Hill.
#46 Jabril Cox, OLB He would be that run and chase LB'er who flies all over the field and excels in coverage. Would struggle against the run a bit as he adjusts to the NFL, but you have Parsons and Collins who can be those guys.
#72 Elijah Molden, CB I love what he can bring as a slot CB. Would be able to sit behind Williams and learn and offer nice depth as a rookie.
#101 Richie Grant S I think he has long term upside as a very good starting safety. I think he might not make it to this point, but the draft is very deep at safety and there will be good talent that drops.
#112 Dyami Brown, WR I think he has a lot of upside in the middle rounds of the draft, Both Williams and Perriman are on one year deal and he can sit behind those two and might be able to take their place in year 2.
#153 Kendrick Green, OG I think he offers nice depth and some long term potential.

That roster equals 157,651,131 in cap space for all 53. We would also be sitting on roughly 41,821,791 in dead cap space for the 2021 season. That would put us at 199,472,922 total used cap space for 2021. With the cap now set and the official roll over numbers we have 197,727,427 cap space available for 2021 so that would leave us over the cap by 1,745,495mil. I don't feel like re-doing any of the numbers so I will leave it there, but it is not hard to clear a couple mil in cap space. We would still have a lot of draft capital in 2022 (2 firsts, 2 seconds(Patriots trade), and 2 3rds (Golladay comp pick).
Now that the major moves have been decided I just wanted to do this to get a clearer picture of what the rest of the off-season could look like. Anyone else think a roster construction similar to this could be a decent team in 2021? Feel free to pick apart I enjoy doing these when I'm bored.
Just realized I left Anzalone off the list. Could swap him out with Austin Bryant, either would be an end of roster type player.
