Chris Jones getting cut this year would save us approx. $1.4M in cap room and $2.5M of cap room in 2021.

If we was June 1st cut, they'd save $1.9M in cap room and still count $500k on the 2021 cap.
We had the worst kicking game in the NFL between Jones and Maher. Pathetic.

Front Office was too buy trying to justify their unwarranted promotion of Keith O'Quinn's meteoric rise from high school baseball coach to NFL Special Teams coach.

I think the cap amount is irrelevant in terms of savings. If we can find a better replacement, we should during the draft or afterward. There should be competition across the board on special teams with how damn horrendous it was.

Meaningless. We'd save a net 1.4 mill if we cut him.

Context is important.

I mean his replacement probably costs more than that so to say they save money is a bit of a stretch.

Cap savings/hit is irrelevant. Even if it's a 5 million dollar cap hit, you have to move on immediately.

no, we got a 5th, we don’t have a 6th round pick
Either way we have one more pick
Trade down once
The point is we can use a late pick which generally doesn’t get you a player who can contribute early if at all
There are 3-4 punters in this draft who can be as good as jones for much less
And they will all be there late

There is a 2.4 million dollar difference between what the OP claimed and what I correctly posted.

Under either scenario, you still have to replace the player.
