At 32, $3.5M cap hit and $0 dead cap to cut, I think he's a no brainer cut. We've been hinting we might want to keep him. We don't HAVE to cut him now 'cause we have tons of money. We can wait allbthe way 'till preseason if we want to. It makes sense, if we DON'T find an upgrade (easy task, honestly) or as a smokescreen. Simply to not force/show our hand. Having said that, besides Karras, resigning the other guy, his name escapes me, drafting either Biadasz or Kushenberry, what other options are there?

Is the other guy you're talking about Boehm? I think he did well last year for the most part when he was in there.
 
That, Boehm. We might not wanna give up all our leverage resigning him. We'll probably feel more comfortable replacing him with Boehm and a draft pick on the books.
 
He is a semi-competent veteran player at a position of dire need, on a below market agreement. We need a few veterans that season the young blood. I completely object to cutting him and don’t think it is in the cards this year.
 
Dolphins traded a draft pick to the Giants for Evan Brown, who never really played. I'm sure they want to get a look at him and not jus give up a draft pick for nothing
 
I disagree with OP.

At $3.5mil that's pretty much the going rate for a solid backup - and he is a potential starter (albeit mediocre one).

Add to the fact that he is commonly considered a great teammate, professional, and locker room leader, and I find it far from a "no brainer".

He may get cut - if we draft/sign a solid center in FA/draft - but if we don't, I fully expect them to run with Kilgore/Boehm/late draft pick.


edit: If you stop and think about it... "good/great" starters are now making 12-15million/year then $3-4mil for your back-up sounds very reasonable.

I thought we signed him from the Giants practice squad. In that case, no draft pick trades hands.
 
You are correct I was thinking of someone else. Brown was signed after the Giants tried to stash him on the practice squad. If I recall they were pretty upset about losing him.
 
Why cut him? He's cheap and by all accounts is a valued leader and veteran presence on the team. He absolutely should be replaced a starter, but we shouldn't be cutting every single verteran who might not be nailed on starters. There's areason why the likes of Kilgore, Rowe and Hurns will be sticking around this year.

And team captain- I doubt he's cut and may start
 
He’s definitely not the answer at all but cheap depth why not
 
Kilgore should be replaced but he should also lose his job in camp (to a rookie), IMO. Unless they sign Connor McGovern to play center then they can cut him loose.
