Mourning Algernon
Just putting this out there as a place to share thoughts, track changes to the situation, and center the discussion.
What do people think? If we could bring everyone back, who (or what position groups) would you look to move on from to find an upgrade? Which of our own FAs should we prioritize? Any pending FAs around the league you think would make especially good Patriots?
For convenience, see info (as if 12/10) below:

Guys who account for >3% of the cap, and the associated cap savings (negative) if they are cut before 6/1 (and this gives you a general picture of how much could be gained by a restructure):

6.95% - Aghalor: 5MM
6.95% - Henry: (4MM)
6.37% - Smith: (12.75MM)
4.83% - Wynn: (0)
4.76% - Mason: 7.125MM
