Miguel (on this site) has us $7.6M over the cap. Unless we can sign McCourty, a franchise tag costs another $9.5M
So, let's say they need to clear/reduce around $17 million in cap numbers.
1. Revis signing a new contract... could create over $10 million in space.
2. Releasing Revis (sacrilege!!! I know...) would create $20 million in space.
Releasing Wilfork creates close to $8 million in space.
I for one think that bringing Wilfork back makes sense, but if Revis and McCourty are the top priorities there are only so many places you can go to create $17 million in cap space.
They could do something with a bunch of contracts to push money into the future: Brady, Browner, etc...
If they do release Wilfork, I hope they keep his name plate up and double back to him once they have cleared enough cap space to bring him back.
