But why cut him and not trade him.

to be fair to Brown, he's a good corner.

3 INTS and a TD.

9 Career INTS.

Makes a lot of tackles.

2021 was his best season.

Ok...trade him. I'm sure there are teams just dying to overpay him.

I cannot get on board with you saying he is a good corner. Hes a below average corner that did have his best year maybe. Team still target him whenever they need a completion

They had announced redoing Dak over a month ago but still hadn't pulled the trigger, but apparently they redid his and Martin's deals today, clearing 22m in space. With Cooper likely to be cut, add another 16m to the cap.

I had pointed to these moves as almost being guaranteed well over a month ago when people were freaking out about the cap. There are still probably a couple more coming. Not sure if Zeurlein has been cut but he should be. THat is 2.5 million I think. Jarwin probably gets the axe since we put the tag on Schultz, so there is almost 4 million. I think Anthony Brown should be cut as well...saves 5m. If Tank gets cut that saves 8m. So we could have 57m cleared. Only issue is I am not exactly sure where Dallas sat before the moves....and Spotrac and OvertheCap give conflicting numbers. If is the 24m figure OTC has is correct, it would be around 33m, but have to delete the money from the franchise tag on Schultz. Around 13m to play with and we are talking about signing Gallup, who will take a chunk of that, still need money to sign draft picks etc.

If it is the 9m over the cap that Spotrac says, then we would have another 15m to play with. It is possible that Spotrac was already counting the Dak money.

We do have a couple other possible candidates to clear room that make some sense. Could gain 6 off Lael and 9 off Tyron. Not saying to do it....but it could be.

We have to get a pass rusher for sure, whether it is resigning Gregory, looking for a FA or drafting one high. We could be without Gregory, Lawrence and Armstrong next year. LOL

Clearing the cap for what exactly? The FO is really pissing me off!!! Sick and tired of not having money to sign not only our own players, but anyone decent in free agency!! I'm just dumbfounded at the stupidity of this organization.

Again how is 6 million overpaying a starting CB?

When the starting CB doesn't deserve to start and isn't very good?

Our pass defense was just fine with him as a #2 CB

Would be better with a better CB. Who says Joseph can't improve the position for a cap hit less than half of his, or at least play the same?
