How Much Cap Space

That's scary if the Patriots have that much money! Concerning Branch he has never been any kind of impact player until this season and the figures you quote just proves how standard he has been. Is that because of the staff and does he have the potential to get even better? He is young. Will depend on what he wants in the market. I have just seen too many players have their career years only when it's time to cash in and then the team that signs them loses big time.
Yeah, you're right. Cutting Misi will help. I think they can get Landry's extension done too because these are AAVs...obviously first year cap hits can be reduced with savvy cap management.
That's probably a big reason why they have so much cap room...no big name wants to go play for the Browns!
Misi is a no brainer for me. He'll just end up injured again.

The money some of the organizations have is just insane. They could almost buy an entire new roster ... at least an entire offense or defense
Well the Browns are going to have to overpay everyone they get because nobody will play for them if all things are equal and the type of player that goes there is going to quit after he gets his money
So lets say we have ~54 million (assuming we cut misi)
We should be able to afford:
-Melvin Ingram ~10 mil
-LG ~upper tier pay, not sure what that would be.
-RG ~solid starter,
I think I would spend like up ~16ish for the guards combined? too much? not enough?
So then, maybe resign Stills ~7ish per year, Sims ~4-5, Landry extension.... ?
with all of those moves combined, the money starts dwindling but would leave us in a pretty good spot for the draft. MLB still the biggest need, along with DE. But many holes filled.. im lukewarm on Branch

I'm not sure but Misi may have to pass a physical before he can be released or come to a injury settlement. Not sure about how that works but I do remember hearing something along those lines with other players.
Branch had 6 sacks in his 2nd year so it wasn't exactly a career year. He is what he is....a JAG.

Isn't upper tier guard money something like $8-$10 mil/yr now? With solid starter cost being north of $4mil/year?
Thats kind of what I was thinking. I think its do-able

A good tool for salaries by position. Top guard money is now 10 million
The top 10 paid guards in the NFL make over $7mil per year

Are you going to extend Landry or Jones or let them hit free agency? (Huge mistake if you let them test the market)
Interesting and a little surprising that Koa wasn't cut with the others. New Defensive Coordinator, Matt Burke was Koa's position coach last year and understands the injury issues that kept him out. Burke may like him.
