Amos probably wants a contract valued around what Micah Hyde signed in Buffalo or a John Cyprien like deal in Tennessee.
Micah Hyde signed a 5 year, $30,500,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $8,000,000 signing bonus, $14,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $6,100,000
John Cyprien signed a 4 year, $25,000,000 contract with the Tennessee Titans, including a $3,000,000 signing bonus, $9,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $6,250,000
6 million average sounds about right for Amos. Question is whether we can pay that.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I think most likely we’re looking at retaining one of Callahan/Massie/Amos, just due to finances. Some of it may depend on how the markets play out for each position.

If I had to guess, it sounds like a very weak OT free agent class, so Massie might get overpaid a bit. I’d like to see Callahan back, since he stood out as more of a difference maker to me and we might get a bit lucky with him coming off injury.

Amos is solid, and I’d like to have him back. Wouldn’t surprise me if he just doesn’t fit into the financial restraints we have.

Cut Dion Simms and that is a wash.

It isn’t only the this year impact. They are going to need to set everything up for when Trubisky comes due his payday or it will be a mass jettison that year.

Except cutting Sims is a wash for cutting Parkey.
