Grubbs and Evans need to stay but they need a significant pay cut to do so.

Hawthorne, Bunkley and Colston are other easy cuts in my opinion. The Colston cut will be tough for some but it's clear that his production only justifies being paid like a #2 WR, but his cap hit looks like he should be top 5 in the league.

You have to look at the dead money. You cut those three and all you will free up is 9 million. That's a tough sell. Bunkley played well until he was injuried. Colston is not a top dog anymore but you saw against the dirty turds that is can still be a go to guy. It's about who you can get with the money saved. Not sure it would pay off.
