It all depends on what Smith and Vilma signed for.

If its less than 3 mill, we scored!

If its about 3 mill, meh...

If its over 3 mill, I think we over-paid for both

I think it's probably around that 3 mark. If it's around 2.5, I do think it's a solid score.

All in all, today has gone pretty much expected. We all knew Bushrod to Chicago was a very likely scenario and within the past few days, Chase has been getting some attention. I would love for us to make a free agent score, but our hands are tied right now.

What we need to be doing is stop focusing on what everyone else is doing. That's out of our control... it's only going to make you miserable. Some of these teams are trying to be contenders... be happy we don't need as much help as they do. Well, I'd like to think we are... but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

I hope Chase beats Alex for the starting job. I hope he has a great year...

Will Smith's base went from 9mil to 3mil
J. Vilma's base went from 4.75mil to 1mil
So we saved 9.75 mil in cap space thos yr

1) Thought this might happen. good luck to cutler
Bushrod becomes the highest-paid offensive lineman in franchise history. His $35.965 million, five-year contract averages $7.19 million per season, $17.715 guaranteed

2) Chase for 3 mill as a back does stink but we have been through this before and he deserved the extra cheese and good luck to him

3) ok that is about what i expected

Will Smith's base went from 9mil to 3mil
J. Vilma's base went from 4.75mil to 1mil
So we saved 9.75 mil in cap space this yr

Now we got a little wiggle room under the cap. what about 5 mill? plus we can redo another contract or two, say Harper's to start. Dano and the gang are doing the calcs now i am sure

So a tackle and/or a defensive addition is very possible.

Conclusion
Given the cap situation to begin with and were we are now imo it may not have been the best results in day one but not that bad either.

Now lets see what happens up to the draft, during the draft then count our chickens that hatched
