Schaub could be cut, but he's not a free agent. They could get $3.6 million of room on the cap, but they would incur $10.5 million in dead money.
interesting offseason, Yucs. I really like the Roberts pick, and Angerer is interesting too. Not a huge fan of Cyril Richardson, but that's not terrible value.
Good point on Schaub, Booker. Was spit-balling names and his came to mind since it sounds like he's a good candidate to be released unless he takes a massive pay-cut. Assume he'll probably get a deal for starter's money if he is, which may be more than the Bucs might be willing to invest. Can't wait for FA to start.
Where I can see Melton being attractive to most coming from Chicago and having played underneath Lovie before he's a three technique. Something we already have in McCoy. Not to mention the money he's going to demand from the open market and the fact he's coming back from an ACL injury I'd stay far away from him.
Allen will be looking for megabucks with his last big deal. No thanks, let some other team overpay.A better value, and much younger, Michael Johnson.
I like watching Angerer play but I would stay far away from a LB with concussions.

God no. Taylor Lewan is the 2nd coming of Jeremy Trueblood. Overall, a bad draft IMO.

I just like Angerer's name. LOLMcCluster should be a priority. Local kid and speed in space like Tedford likes. Plus he improves the return game.I think a lot of teams will be interested though , so he may not be that huge of a bargain.

Oher is going to get a huge contract, similar to Gosder Cherilus did last year. Schaub has one of the worst arms in the league, he's done. Pick 6 city.
I like the Munnerlyn option, JD.Agree with above - Oher is no bargain and has never really lived up to the hype.
I'm not expecting many recognizable names for FA signings.
