Why would we cut Dwan or Chase, exactly? They are some of the few veterans on our defense.

 

 

 

AJ Klien should be the starter at LB over Blackburn and Dwan saves the team quite a bit of money and should be replaced this season with Short.

But what depth do we then have at DT if we cut Edwards?. No Cole or Edwards means just two DTs unless we put chandler back on that side of the ball, the four man rotation helped the defence huge last season, so makes no sense to cut Edwards and he's productive and relatively cheap to keep on the books.

Not much behind them, just a few UDFA guys, but likely probably see a lower level FA come in to replace them. The team has to cut some cap somewhere and he's one of the only guys on the team they can do it with. Just the name of the game really and he's kinda an odd man out in this situation because of the cap.

Or Dwan re-signs for cheap.

Godfrey as a June 1st cut

Extend Olsen for a couple years

Restructured CJ (really I would want him to take a straight paycut but that option isn't there)

 

puts it at a little over 28 million in cap space, which is solid even with all the pending free agents we have

The more I look at these contracts, I'm positive Hurney's plan was to restructure and push money towards future years every year until the world ended.

He loved doing that. However the Contracts of Beason and Jonathan Stewart are inexcusable.

Beason could retire and not play a down of football next season and still have one of the highest cap hits for ILB in the NFL at 8 million. lol

 

 

Jordan Gross is going to have a cap hit of 5.6 million next season even if he doesn't come back.

How is that?  He is not being cut his contract expired how is his cap hit extended?

His voided contract was for three years so the team could spread out his cap hit through out the contract. He got a 4.5 million bonus last season for the restructure. His cap hit was 5.9 million before the void, after the void the team still has to pay his signing bonus, They still owe 1 million on his option bonus from 2010. The total of what's left of the bonus money owed to him totals 5.6 million, which is dead money on the cap this season even if he doesn't come back. 

 

 

So for example if he comes back on a deal worth 5 million for 2 years, his total cap hit for 2014 would be 10.6 million.
