Potential June 1st cut possiblities

Poe aint going anywhere with the holes we have to fill...best thing to do with him is coach him up and offer Golden Coral buffet 4x a week..

If we listen to huddlers we would cut our whole defensive line and replace them. Let's ignore that you have to pay other guys to take their place while absorbing huge dead cap hits now and the future. Let's ignore that the regression of the line was partly due to Washington spending much less time with the D Line than in years past when he took over the coordinator role and his poor scheme. Also that if we use more 3-4 looks we need big men to fill the trenches. I doubt we cut Poe, Short or Addison. I think we will sign Love as well. I expect us to draft a DE but not in free agency unless we can get them for cheap.

We might have very recently renegotiated/reworked someones contract. With Munnerlyn's release and Hood's re-signing we were $17.1 million under the cap  -  as of 2/25

As of today we are $19.2 under the cap.

Something I learned recently is that any money saved via Post-June 1 cut isn't actually available until June 2nd. By then, all of the major FAs have been signed. Although, I'm sure there is some way teams circumvent that rule, right?

I think Addison's deal should be extended, tbqh, and we should get some cap room there.

I still haven't read the details on Captain's "release" other than him being informed he would be released. If it isn't official, he could very well get one of the designations.

Kalil should 100% get the other.

The only other option I've considered at this point is Greg Olsen. He's old in football terms, and I'm not sold he'll ever come back. I think with him it will be an actual "wait and see" situation and he could be released after June 1st, thus requiring no designation.

Poe could be decent as a 3-4 rotational DT, and I give him more credit in our run D 4-3 than most do. He's another candidate that should have a base restructure, freeing up some money for this year.

Addison will be about 33---CJ hit the wall at 32.  Addison is  carrying about 20 lbs more than when he was drafted---I  expect  him to start  dropping off.

The good news?   I see Obada and Haynes (possibly) stepping up.  Cox Jr is our  new Horton.  We need a stud.

You can use it to pay your draft class. Or as money to get thru the season. These options are usually paid by not using all your available cap. Instead, we can spend down to zero and know those are covered. It’s an extra 7M(Kalil) or more if they use the other one.  A team might not technically get it at the time, but they can plan their strategy knowing it will be there.
