They shouldn't need $15+ mill of this year's money to do so.

The way the draft seems to be shaping up based on their visits, we should expect defense and probably OL early.
The other Day 2 position will go to another defensive player or probably RB if they really like someone.
I don't feel like there's anyone in this draft class that's going to make me want to go out and get their jersey (unless Tyler Warren somehow makes it as is taken).

That's why I said "either way it goes". If they deal him away, the team frees up $16M and is left with a huge, gaping hole to try to fill. If they sign him, they likely structure it in a way that opens up a little more usable cap space for this year.

Edit: Personally, I'm hoping that they extend him a couple more years. Like yourself, I don't see anyone in this draft class that's going to come in and give 17.5 sacks worth of contribution to the defense.
