Stewart = 4.75MM

Gano = 3.1MM

Dickson = 2.05MM

less likely ones but plausible 

Lee = 3.433MM

Oher = 2.5MM

Nobody else really makes sense to move on from. Stewart, Gano and Dickson are really the only contracts where the production doesent live up to the cap hit. 

Id like to see us move on from all 3 personally.

I'd like to see Stew's deal restructured - he's still the best pass blocking RB in the league and does so much when healthy -but everyone else - Gano and Dickson - should be out.

 

Stew might agree to a paycut but a restructure does not make sense because his contract ends next year. Maybe an out right paycut but how much less would he really accept? Right now he's only getting 5.5 in new money vs his 8.250 cap hit(5th highest on the team).

Reality is we have to over pay some people. Personally I'd rather overpay big name talents to secure their services than overpay people past their prime like Stewart. Or mid level scrubs like Soliai who heisted 4 million from us in 1 year where he did nothing.

I would cut all of those. Unless Stewart restructures. Stewart stays hurt.

 

Edit:

I would keep Oher too unless the team feels he will never recover.

Who are we going to get to replace Stewart then? There's no guarantee Fournette will be there at 8  , but I guess there's a number of RBs in the draft. But from my knowledge no one on our roster is the answer at RB and all the college RBs coming out this year its yet to be seen that they will be productive on our team.

If anything I think we need to keep Stewart and release some of the other RBs , to free up a position for a RB we draft in the top 3 rounds but don't have to totally gamble on them being a good feature back.

Only 12 backs in the league have cap hits in 2017 totaling more than the 4.75 MM we'd save by cutting him. Right now he's right behind Adrian Peterson and Lesean McCoy for the 3rd highest cap hit by a RB.

His value is no where near that. 

Whether it be the draft or free agency I'm sure we can find a suitable if not upgraded replacement to him at a much better value

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
