I think most GMs would disagree. Both are easily replaceable for a fraction of the cost.
Our RB1 and our WR1 both had 3 TDs last year. Not good enough.
No, they wouldn't. Suggesting they would makes it hard to take anything else you project seriously. BOTH those guys would get a signing bonus and at least small raises raises in FA.
They aren't being paid a starter's salary so any complaint about them as starters and money is goofy.
Carr is a legit cut candidate. Church with the raise is a consideration if the draft falls a certain way or we see a value in FA.
Other guys are not making enough to warrant releasing.
Free, TWill and DMC all have 1 final year here unless they get injured in camp. We do not have their replacements and even if we did they'd be worth their salaries as back ups.
Moore is a guy who knows the offense well. He may well earn his keep helping the new QB2 learn the system. His 600k is nothing.
Free and Moore both probably end up on the coaching staff soon.
You can remove about 450k in savings for each guy you release if we are below 51 signed players as we would be.
Witten can probably call his shot in retirement. We have no TE2 under contract and TE3 is badly injured right now and he played 99% of the offensive snaps last year.
The thought he gets cut challenges common sense.
Next year's 1st will cost us about 5m, and 2nd about 1m. 3rd round pick around 600k.
Replacing guys won't be cheap.
Anyone with 3 years service will make at least 700k.
