During the off season only the top 51 salaries count against the salary cap. Along with bonuses paid to players. So cutting any players who are not included in the top 51 really won’t help in creating cap space.We've got, at least, 10 guys on the roster who have virtually zero chance to ever make our roster... even after another year on the practice squad. When we cut these guys in a week or two, most of the posters here were go... "who?"
I suspect they will have to cut some players that the fans do know who they are, if they want to get their cap room down before June 1st.
