He has to be. Williams is goneis Johnson an instant starter on this line?
I'd rather a safety or WR in the 3rd round. We simply don't need a cornerback with Diggs, Brown, Lewis, Joseph, Wright, and Robinson.
I am not counting a roster spot for Robinson at all.
And Brown and Lewis very well could be cap moves. Cutting Brown saves $5 million on the cap, I believe.
I wouldn't cut Brown at all. With his salary he should be tradeable. He is an at least passable #2. Outside the two horrific games against Oakland and TB, he had a pretty solid year. 5M for an adequate #2 is nothing. 5M for a good #3 is still pretty good.If money is no factor I cut Lewis over Brown all day, every day.

Diggs, Joseph and Brown could be pretty compelling of Joseph plays the way he did VS Washington
If we are getting rid of one of the vet CB's, Id much rather it be Lewis. Even with a smaller cap saving, he is just a middling sub package CB. If one of them is to be a top 3 CB here next year, Id much rather it be BrownTechnically Brown's a $6.5 million cap hit. If we cut him, we eat $1.5 million in dead money and save $5 million in cap space.
Brown isn't good enough IMO to not be a cap cut (or trade) consideration. Which would you rather do? Cut Brown and some other mid-level player and save maybe 8-9 million or restructure Elliott and kick like $10 million down the road?
