Still some money there but not a ton.

That being said they do have options to open up more if they need to so I suspect they'll be fine, but they need value signings right now.
Oh for sure.

But they really only need one more major piece and thats obviously at CB. Johnson or Breeland would have been nice, but just too much $$. They are at 58 guys signed right now...so honestly just not a lot of need. Now, Jahri Evans is a FA and if he doesn't come back, they will be needing to replace him as well as a couple depth LB's.

Looks like Rashaan Melvin is the target right now for corner.

If they need cap space there are a few options that can open up a bunch, not the least of which is a re-structuring of Rodgers deal which by all accounts is well under way. Also, releasing Cobb would free up 9 or so million, but man that would really put a dent into AR's familiarity with his guys. I also expect to see them add an experienced WR at least before camp. They were in on Sammy Watkins and Allen Robinson but those guys went for way to much money. If Jordy signs in Oakland as expected, Crabtree could be that guy as he would likely be released.
