How much does that save?

 

[Galian Beast]

How much does that save?

600k dollars

600k dollars

Wow that helps us

 

[IAmLegend]

Expected tbh. Only saves us a little over half a million dollars though.

 

[Aliencowboy]

This is a surprise. I thought he'd be more valuable in a 4-3.
Must have really thought he was too slow and too old

 

[perrykemp]

Lot more cutting to do to make enough cap available required to sign the rookie draft class.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

no real loss.

not really we can just cut free june 1st and we will have plenty of cap to sign them.

 

[Avery]

Prepare for the mega merge.

Cutting Doug Free in June will cover all rookie costs plus some

 

[Yoshimitsu]

About damn time.

 

[Fletch]

Wow that helps us

And yet had we kept him, y'all would say that he doesn't fit the new defensive scheme and how worthless he is. But we cut Marcus, save some cash, and you're still pissed about it. Y'all need to make up your minds.

 

[JustDezIt]

something in the works?

 

[DFWJC]

People keep saying that they aren't shedding older players, but I'd be curious to see the list over the last 2-3 years.

Amen, we need to make these type of moves not only from a cap standpoint, but age and production standpoint. I think he has been serviceable but no way did he live up to being a 1st round pick.

Still got 8 years out of him. Which is pretty decent. Solid player but agree he was not worth a first.

 

[TheSport78]

Forget Aaron Rodgers, we had Marcus Spears for 8 years!!!!



#facepalm

Yeah. he had a respectable career in Dallas. His time had come though.

I suspect Kiffin and Mangini have a list of some sort for Jerry/Stephen to go by; cross referencing price and value (present and future).
