After looking at the cap charges for next year, our current cap situation, and their production....here is who i think will be cut (or traded) barring some renegotiation.
Amari Cooper- By cutting him we will save 16 million on the cap. No way he can play under this deal with our current cap situation. I think a trade is a strong possibility as his base of 20 mill can be renegotiated by the new team easily.
D Law- We will save 8 million by cutting or trading him. I think there is a chance we can trade him but we can't afford to pay this guy his 27 million dollar price tag this year for his lack of production.
Tyron Smith- We will save 5 million to cut him. This one is tough because his price tag is still low at 12 million. It will depend on how we feel he can be replaced and if we need that 5 million.
Greg Z- We will save 2.5 million...no brainer.
I will not be surprised if all 4 of these players are not on the team next year, what do you think?
Not against what you are proposing but who are you replacing them with because if you don't have a good one to replace then you are praying you hit it right in the draft.
Cooper - a trade only would work for me but then we have to resign Gallup and Wilson
D-Law - his injuries hurt but seriously doubt we cut him, probably restructure him
Smith - still on of the best LT in the game and other than possibly Steele there is no one that can produce like he can, better hope Josh Ball can take over but that has yet to be seen
Zuerlien - yes please although literally every kicker this year suffered and supposedly talk of decreasing the width of the uprights isn't going to improve things other than more teams going for it on 4th down.
