Here's where/what they can cut from next year's team to get under the cap:
Currently, as it sits, they are 10M and change over the 2022 cap.
DeMarcus Lawrence - if they cut him, they will avoid his 19.5M salary, but will eat 19M in dead money.
Amari Cooper - if they cut him before the 5th day of the 2022 league year, they will avoid his 20M salary, but will eat 6M in dead money.
La'el Collins - if they cut him before the 5th day of the 2022 league year, they will avoid his 10M salary, but will eat 13.95M in dead money.
Tyron Smith - if they cut him, they will avoid his 13.5M salary, but will eat 12.015M in dead money.
Jaylon Smith - if they cut him before the 5th day of the 2022 league year, they will avoid his 9.2M salary, but will eat 6.8M in dead money.
Anthony Brown - if they cut him, they will avoid his 5M salary, but will eat 1.5M in dead money.
Ezekiel Elliott cannot be cut next year. His 2022 salary fully guaranteed this March. If they cut him, they eat 30M in dead money. Zero relief.
One other note on Jaylon Smith - his salary is guaranteed for 2022 for injury, and fully guarantees on the fifth day of the league year. They would have been advised to have cut him this year to eat the dead money now, and avoid the possibility of another 9.2M salary guaranteeing if he has a season ending injury.
The places to look for relief next year are Cooper, Jaylon Smith and Brown. The others offer little overall relief.
