But the money for next years cap and onward is free for backloading. I would say mid-tier CB Kilpatrick/Gilmore and a G like Ron Leary would be enough. Maybe squeeze a mid-tier LB like Timmons too.
Resigning fairly alone will probably cost us 8 mil a year average. The total for signing the remainder of just role playing players i estimate at about 15 million. So your looking at like 23 million spent before we even sign Kenny vaccaro to a long term deal. I think we will probably have like 11-12 million to work with in free agency. Getting a good guard, cornerback, and linebacker will probably not happen. We maybe get one or two, but i doubt we fill all needs.
I also don't think the saints will backload any contracts. That got us into cap hell to begin with. We can't even get to the playoffs, we need to be making smart personnel moves because we are farther away from it than the fans think we are.
