Bushrod improved quite a lot this year, I don't think he gets released, we would atleast get a mid round I think if we traded him

Smith is on the bubble, I think see how he performs in spags system for the first couple weeks and if he looks anything like he has the past 2 seasons add an injection of youth in there and give galette and hopefully Romeus more snaps

Smith would be released or restructured before the season because we need that money to retain Brees, Nicks, and Colston (in that order).

Not necessarily if they all sign end-heavy contracts - again I would advice not to look at the cap space as a concrete limit of how much they can spend on next year's real salaries, but as a limit under which Loomis and the FO have to fit the short term salaries of the roster. They have numerous ways of doing it, none of which even include releasing players or restructuring contracts.
