1) $18M is freed up by restructuring Henry, Smith, Mason, Andrews and Bourne. Thus pushes to money into future higher cap years. The players have no choice; there is no change in their compensation.

2) Re-sign Karras

3) Re-sign Brown or replacement

4) Re-sign White or replacement

5) Sign mid-level wide receiver

6) Draft a wide receiver
====================
MAJOR DECISION ON WYNN
The team has seen him for another year. They could decide that he is a starting LT in this league and extend his contract, presuming the price is right. As an aside, this would free up $7.5M of 2022 by overthecap's estimate.

The alternative is to find 2023 OT's now! Even if we can count on Onwenu as an OT, we need another starter and a swing game-day backup. If this isn't solved by Draft Day, I could see us drafting an LT in the first three rounds.

Perhaps JJ Taylor is Whites replacement, but he is so unproven.

The Pats basically went through the 2021 season without Whites production, so maybe this is the best time to start from square 1 with Taylor in the RBBC.
