      Debrusk for our top 6, some 1M backup (just run it back with Pickard?).

      I'd like Foeg's back so I'm curious why you dont want him?

      Entirely too much for Desharnais in my eyes. Maximum 1.5mil, especially with 5 years of term. Just because he had a good series against a physical team like LA doesn't mean he isn't still plenty prone to being lit up by faster, offensive teams. On top of that, I'd say you're overpaying Perry (~500k), Holloway (~250k) and Broberg (~150k) by around 900k collectively. Also, don't forget Brown & Perry's bonuses will take away a decent chunk of that cap space.

      As for targets, my priority goes 1.) Alex Carrier, 2.) get younger by finding some cheap guys with modest upside (Laczynski, Blankenburg, Robinson, etc), and 3.) Debrusk (if the cap allows for it).

      Brown & Perry’s bonuses are already filtered in by Capfriendly smile

      I don’t want to give Vinny 2x5 but I believe that’s what the number will end up being.

      I really like Foegele, but I think he’s gonna ask for 3.2+ and I’m not comfortable giving that to him. I’d resign him for around 2.85M

      I hope he's at 3x3M, I think we can do that given he's 28 and did take big steps forward the last 2 seasons, anything close to 3.5 though I'd pass on too.
      You signed people a little high too (IMO) so we'll probs have a little more cap room to work with.

      For that RHD with Nurse I think Carrier, Risto, Faulk, Andersson or maybe Spurgeon could be good fits.
      Gunna depend on the ask though, we don't have a ton too move atm.

      Barron is lowkey a good choice, just difficult cause who knows how he reacts going from a low pressure position to high pressure.
