Jerricho Cotcher is a restricted Free Agent in this offseason and our only potential roster loss that is essential to our team.How much will he be offered? Should we put the 1st round retainer on him, and if someone offers him a contract still should we keep him or the 1st round pick?

Almost all of the teams in the NFL has a good cap situation right now. But teams like the Browns will always pick up all the decent FAs because they have the most.

It'll lead to lots of Franchise tags and lots of over-paying (like the MLB this offseason).
