They're also going to have to cut some pretty key contributors and popular players. The obvious one is Witten, but I could see one or both of Doug Free and Sean Lee being moved as well.
If they don't absolutely nail the draft, I think we see a big drop off in play from them. The Eagles aren't in great shape either but the difference is that they have some pretty obvious cut/trade candidates that should free up between $20M - $30M in space and they don't really have any UFAs who need to be re-signed or replaced.

Eagles need to spend big in FA though and are hurting a bit for draft picks aren't they? WR is a trouble area for sure, to bring back DeSean isn't going to be cheap. Oline help couldn't be a bad idea either.
