Who to cut (cap hits included)

Danno · 01-24-2014, 04:23 PM

So we're about 14 over and we'll need at least 8 million for Graham, so who do you cut?

I know Loomis will likely restructure several players but this kinda gives yo a good indicator who may be asked to restructure or clean out their locker..

Approximated cap savings if cut (hopefully some restructure)...

Cap hit minus dead money = Cap savings if cut
Will Smith - 13,902,451 - 2,352,451 = 11,550,000
Darren Sproles - 4,250,000 - 750,000 = 3,500,000
Jabari Greer - 5,825,000 – 2,650,000 = 3,175,000
Pierre Thomas – 2,900,000 – 0 = 2,900,000
Lance Moore - 5,068,750 - 2,357,500 = 2,711,250
Roman Harper - 5,870,000 - 3,690,000 = 2,180,000
Mark Ingram - 2,359,875 - 973,500 = 1,386,375
Patrick Robinson - 2,804,333 - 1,446,833 = 1,357,500

I can realistically see Smith, Sproles, Greer, Thomas, Moore, and Harper all gone...

Theres 26 million right there. Plenty of money to sign Graham and numerous others.

Patrick Robinson - 2,804,333 - 1,446,833 = 1,357,500

We did just fine without Smith and I didn't see the LB experiment working anyway
Keep Sproles and Thomas
Assess Greers injury. His career could possibly be over anyway unfortunately
I like Moore but it may be time to move on.
Harper and Ingram can go. I actually like Harper. Our run D got much better almost instantaneously when he came back from injury. If we can find a FA upgrade that would be great
Krob is the future as our bruiser and short ydg and should replace Ingram.
I would like to see how Prob does under Ryan.

Also would it hurt us to let Jenkins go?

What no Bunkley..... I would bring back Robinson, sproles, Moore.... No reason for the rest.... Love them all but something has got to give for us to get out of NFL debt for once....

I ****ing hate the offseason. It's posts like these that make it bearable. Thanks Danno.

SapperSaint · 01-24-2014, 06:03 PM

Will Smith - 13,902,451 - 2,352,451 = 11,550,000 GOODBYE
Darren Sproles - 4,250,000 - 750,000 = 3,500,000Thanks for the memories but we got to let you go. Steve has all the information you need.
Jabari Greer - 5,825,000 – 2,650,000 = 3,175,000I don't know what to do with him. I'm leaning towards "Keep"
Pierre Thomas – 2,900,000 – 0 = 2,900,000Thanks PT but I need you to follow Darren
Lance Moore - 5,068,750 - 2,357,500 = 2,711,250Follow PT and Darren
Roman Harper - 5,870,000 - 3,690,000 = 2,180,000I like you Roman. Lets see what camp looks like
Mark Ingram - 2,359,875 - 973,500 = 1,386,375Keep
Patrick Robinson - 2,804,333 - 1,446,833 = 1,357,500Keep

RaginCajun83 · 01-24-2014, 06:06 PM

I could see all but Thomas and Ingram gone and I'd personally drive Will Smith, Harper and Jenkins to the airport

NonieT · 01-24-2014, 06:39 PM

They're gonna keep Thomas, Sproles, & Ingram. I don't know about the rest.
