Probably do not need 9m for Jimmy either.

i would do Jimmy's contract line this.
60m for 6 years (25m bonus and guaranteed, the rest spread out)
2014 4.1m bonus / 1m salary / 5.1m cap hit
2015 4.1m bonus / 2m salary / 6.1m cap hit
2016 4.1m bonus / 2m salary / 6.1m cap hit
2017 4.1m bonus / 5m salary / 9.1m cap hit
2018 4.1m bonus / 10m salary /14.1m total <----- Restructure or extend here.
2019 4.1m bonus / 15.4m salary / 19.1m total

Thats what I'm curious about. Say we let several players like Smith, Harper, Moore, Greer, PT, Strief, DLP walk and maybe a few others, what are there replacement costs?

In your previous example who replaces Harper, Moore, Sproles, Greer and some potential other cuts? If we cut 5 or 6 high dollar guys, we'll have to sign some replacement (or acquire depth).

What do the replacements add to the cap? Bush will add 2 million, A DLP/Strief replacement will be 2 million easy. Will we acquire a cheaper version of Sproles? For how much? Promote Cadet?
