TE Dion Sims

OLB Sam Acho

the rest i'm fine with walking (unless it's Zach Miller)

Free Agency:

Sign OLB Markus Golden 1 year, $3 million deal

Sign DT Muhammad Wilkerson (luxury signing) 2 years, $8 million deal

Sign CB Bashaud Breeland 1 year, $2.5 million deal (this signing also wont happen to save cap space)

Sign S Corey Graham 1 year, $2.5 million deal

Sign K Robbie Gould 2 years $8 million deal

Cap Space left: Lowke less than $1 million so we'll be tight but they are almost all 1-year pacts

NFL Draft:

1st and 2nd rounds: No pick

3rd round: select Parris Jaylen Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech

5th round: Jalen Jelks, EDGE, Oregon

5th Round: Terry McLaurin, WR oOhio State
