I agree next year is better and yes you are stuck with 8 mill in dead cap BUT you also free up $3.2 mill to use else where if needed. So it is a positive cap move still.

So your not backed into a corner to cut him and can see how the signing works out for say a Micah Hyde. besides a player like Hyde is coming to getting his just deserved shot at starting and will not break the bank. either way i see it as a win win either way.

My 2017 FA theme for our defense.
1 Proven players stuck as back ups deserving a shot to start.
2 Upgrade team over all depth
3 Flexibility to fill more than one position and preform at a high level

That is why my top defensive players this year are
Micah Hyde FS/SS/PR
A.J. Klein MLB/OLB
Lawrence Guy DE/DT

example roll the dice on a player like
Rex Burkhead RB Bengals and it pays off

You can free up roster spot or two given we carry
Murphy, Marcus
Travaris Cadet
Daniel Lasco

They have proven they can all the positions they are listed at and wont break the bank to sign. Sure it is a gamble but with DA just starting to build this defense IMO it is a calculated risk that could pay off huge dividends. Add to it the fact they have the ability to replace players with higher contracts this year and next year is huge. We wont be backed into a corner down the road.

I have not found a CB in FA that meets my FA standards yet.
