I thought we would release Fuller post June 1 for more salary cap relief.

Mostert and Smythe being released is no surprise.

We need a more physical RB to complement Achane and Wright and a better blocking TE to replace Smythe/Hill.

Don't really agree with cutting Fuller, but hey, gotta save money.

Fuller
2025 Dead Cap: $5,412,000
2025 Cap Savings: $2,941,000

Smythe
2025 Dead Cap: $2,656,666
2025 Savings: $2,175,000

I guess Cam Smith is ready to play

These moves give me some hope that the front have woken up and will address needs. No more messing around. Invest in the trenches.

Wright is a physical runner

I would draft a DB to compete with Smith.

Some possibilities are

R2. Amos

R3. Burke

R4. Riley

Wright is a physical runner

Why did we never use him in short yardage? He didn't seem that physical to me.

I was so right about fuller said he be disappointing
Many thought we got a steal. He was hugest rated free agent corner last year. But the corner market was weak.

Good move today

I don't understand the Fuller release unless his knee injury was more severe than what was originally said. You save what, $3M of cap but still take $5.5M cap hit when the guy is still a good starting QB? Seems odd.

Thats why I thought he would be a post June 1 cut. We would have then saved $6.8M with only $1.3M in dead money.

Fuller is a dumb release unless there is a better plan. That wasn't too bad a contract with no major cap relief.
