So if we cut/trade Revis and cut/trade Penn and cut Koenen....we have just over $50M in cap space.....and Lovie has said he wants to spend up to the limit. Should be interesting to see who we get with all that jack.We could possibly get Melton and Johnson on the D-line....plus Collins, Schwartz, and Mack on the O-line. Rebuild over 50% of both our lines in one swift move? That would use up $35M to $40M. Still have $10M to $15M left for some smaller signings and rookie class.D - Clayborn/Melton/McCoy/JohnsonO - Collins/Schwartz/Mack/Zuttah?Nicks/Dotson
You can probably do that without cutting Revis as Im not sure what the market will be for Melton. Even at this, does that really excite you, especially knowing we have Banks and ? at CB?

Don't trust anything Lovie says.

Tillman and Alterraun Verner

We already have one, what sense does cutting the best CB just to resign a top 10 CB? Save a few million? Unless it's 6-8 million, I'm not okay with it considering we had to give up draft picks to get Revis in the first place.
Who Havnot?Tillman. Cortland Finnegan? Who?
lol
-They have $45M of cap room-Their 2014 draft picks: #1, #1, #2, #3, #3, #4, #4, #5, #6, #7- Mike Pettine was the Jets defensive coordinator 2009-2012
Man, I hope you be right dawg. We need to get something in return for Revis.
Also dumb enough to give up picks AND pay revis 16mil.....wait, the Bucs did that last year :/
Cleveland already has Haden. I don't see them wanting that much money tied up in their defensive backfield. Especially with their desire to bring in Byrd as well.
Mr. Ridd!ck gets it.Louis Ridd!ck ?@LRidd!ckESPN 27m#Buccaneers offense in '13: 31st in yards per game, 25th in rushing yards per play and 27th in sacks per pass attempt. OL rebuild continues today.

In New York Pettine had Revis, Cromartie and they drafted Kyle Wilson in the 1st round.
Revis trade that includes Alex Mack.......since we're playing fantasy, why not?
As far as what CB we sign in FA.....TIllman seems like a sure fire choice as a 2 year stop gap. Probably go after a great nickel guy like Munnerlyn or Thurmond too. Then I think we really do draft Gilbert in the 1st round. Lovie could possibly trade Banks. I'm not saying he will or should, but if he isn't the type of corner Lovie wants then I can see it happening. Obviously Lovie isn't messing around and will make this his team one way or another.
