AFC potential cut candidates: Nick Chubb, Joey Bosa are potential cap casualties

We gotta get under the cap.

Dudes are gonna get cut.

DLaw, Gallup, Cooks, LVe?, Dak

I’m not anti DLaw, but post June cut saves the team a lot of cap.

POST-6/1 RELEASE

2024 Dead Cap: $10,445,0002025

2025 Dead Cap: $7,445,000

2024 Cap Savings: $10,000,000

Post 6/1 doesn’t help though. Ignoring that all you are doing is spreading the same dead cap over 2 years, you still have to be under the cap where he is under contract until 6/1 so you are saving money you won’t use.

Post 6/1 cuts are for bad contracts you want to get out from. DLaw would get his salary this year easily on the open market so it’s not a bad contract so a post 6/1 makes no sense.

It makes sense when our cap is underwater by 20 mill.

Jerry has done such a good job over the years of training the fan base. How in the world can people watch the same thing over and over and over and want to keep running it back with the same set of "stars". These guys are not as good as you want them to be. They never have been.

Give me Chubb all day. Incentive laden deal. When healthy he’s a top 3 back in the league

Definitely, if healthy, he could make our running game lethal.

Both of those guys would be GREAT pick-ups! unless they are hurt.....

For sure, but I'd be surprised if either gets cut.

And it does nothing to help with that because you have to be under before June 1 assuming he is on the roster. You don’t get said cap relief until June 1 so it is useless.

The cap situation is not that bad. A couple reworks and Dak’s extension solve it. There is no point in going for cap relief in 3 months when the money would be needed now.

$10m probably isn’t enough savings to cut him. I bet Dlaw is safe for another season despite the lackluster sack numbers.

DLaw is their best lineman and it's not even close.

No argument from me. I agree, $10M isnt enough savings to justify cutting him. If anything you lower his cap number with a small extension.
