We have to sign someone. Marvin would be any expiring contract.
The salary floor is going to be about 52 Mil. With Marvin opting and us picking up Kevin Murphy's option in we have about 25.5 Mil commited for 7 players. We are required to play 6-8 players at least 26.5 Mil.
Our two first round picks and a our second will make about a combined 4.5 mil.
If we resign Foye (2.5 Mil again) and Carroll (2.5), then we will still need another 17.5 mil of salary.

You dont have to have the salary at the beginning of the season. we can always make a trade to absorb expiring contracts, or we can just ride the season out with young guys and low salary, and then it goes to the players as a bonus at the end of the season. I would rather not sign a garbage contract and have a low salary than take on a guy that would hamstring us going forward.
