if they can get mario at a reasonable number (reasonable for the caliber player he is, not reasonable in real world) and get foster resigned, i bet they can make the cap work to get most of the others back. they can convert parts of otehr player's salaries for 2012 into signing bonuses (bringing their base salary down to league minimuim) and spread that out over the next few years. that would drop cap figures and allow them to get the people back they want.
my thought is they keep everyone, with the only wild card being how much mario wants. if he wants to be the highest paid d-end in the league, he will be playing somewhere else. and unfortunately, one of the teams who has a ton of cap space and a need on d-line is tennessee.
