Cap, Cuts and Roster Movement

[BahamaFinFan78]

Do we have the cap space to sign our draft class or will we have to cut someone? Can you see cuts being made even if we are under the cap or will they hold on them till camp and wait for injuries or a good trade offer? What other roster moves do you see happening between now and opening day? Are there any available free agents left that we should be considering (pro and college)?

Unloading Flowers before the draft helped for sure....

We should be ok. The two 7 round picks won't even count so really is only the top 5 guys we drafted. Regardless, there are more moves coming.

So many questions....so little time.

Now this is a solid and original thread. Thank you

I can't see us getting much from teams for any of the guys who are 60/40 to make our final roster to be honest. It would take a team really invested in not missing out on a player to throw draft capital at us and I just don't see anyone on the cusp being that interesting to other teams when they broker a deal after the player is cut.

Another thing is this day and age players are likely already far more aware of their next destination when it becomes likely they could be a casualty due to agent chatter, other players and social media.

Please, take your time. When you have a few spare minutes that you could squeeze some Fins in.

Have to cut or trade about half the pass catchers on the roster, that alone should make enough cap room.

If Grier can get a 6th for a guy, that's better than a cut.

Look for grant to be cut. Maybe Smyth and Wilson. McCain probably has 1 more year here but he’d save cap too

I predicted 2 trades before/during draft. There was only 1- Flowers. So I was wrong. But I still think more trades. I think Grier get something for Grant.

I have Wilson making my 53 and Hurns cut.

Not really. Unless that was sarcasm lol

A TE is being cut or traded, McCain or Rowe is cut, most likely McCain. Probably Grant gets the X.

Totally agree but that's much more difficult these days.

Duke Johnson is available? That’s interesting to me. Great receiving back
