Still feels odd to me that we have opened up so much cap space

Maybe.

It doesn't really matter though, considering the extra cap you have rolls into next year. It may be future planned deals, it maybe be a budget plan that doesn't get filled or it may be a deal that fell through (like Ward). Again, it doesn't really matter as long as you have enough room to function this year. Any extra space will get passed to next year like you never restructured if you don't use it.

You have a brand new staff and brand new schemes. That’s a lot roster change that needs to happen. Plus you want to give your new coaches some players that give them confidence that their plan will work. Godshaux and Reid (34 NT and a great safety) are bookend pieces to our new D. We will still need at least two more starting DBs considering we’ll run 5 at the same time 70% of the time. And we need an elite DT that stop the run and get to the passer. On O: we need at least two starting interior Olineman and one with the ability to play center at a high level a big WR. (Elite jump ball winning play making dawg). This at a minimum. With the draft you want elite difference makers. BPA most likely. At 9 draft a generational RB/TE /WR /QB/DT/DE.
