LT Villanueva 15M
LB David 14
CB Darby 10
WR K. Cole 6
LB KPL 2

45M right there .. without resigning Brandon Scherff. Of course it doesnt take into account of structuring contracts so theres a smaller hit in 2021 so those players are probably more like 38M in cap hit for 2021.

That article predicts that we will sign Safety Anthony Harris, WR Corey Davis, QB Tyrod Taylor, and resign Darby and Scherff. I'd be all on board with that. Then get a Tackle with #19, LB / TE / CB in rounds 2-3.

I honestly dont know. Ive had difficulty figuring out who he is. Ive seen him throw guys open with anticipation and also just throw an inaccurate ball other times. Seems to read a defense well enough but not elite. Does he control safeties with his eyes? idk.

I think scrambling and extending plays is the next big "need" for a QB and I think RR values that skill. That is one trait I dont have to question about Dak, he has the ability to extend plays and keep his eyes down field. He has the ability to scramble for 5 yards on a busted 3rd and 4.

Hes a winner imo. A poor man Russell Wilson and thats a huge compliment.

Yeah id be on board with that as well.

I had Simmons or Harris on my list but then saw I was well beyond the 45M range I was going for. Our secondary played better than expected last year and with Collins, Curl, Everett and a low end FA coverage safety .. I dont think S is as big of a need at 14M cap hit vs signing Villanueva or David at the same price.
