I would have to disagree there I don't think Fiedler's 3rd year is overpaid simply because if by then he hasn't shown himself to be worth that 3rd year, we would want to cut him and make way for the next QB anyway no matter how much he was slated to make in his 3rd year. His 4th and 5th year numbers are pretty bad, but the 3rd year only starts to make him paid about what a "pretty good not great" QB should be making.
Ricky Williams will be charging us some BANK next year you can count on that especially since he's being a good sport and putting up with his horrible contract for the Phins for this season.
I see us cutting Tim Ruddy most definitely, Daryl Gardener most definitely, POSSIBLY Tim Bowens....its hard to say. MAYBE Derrick Rodgers (seems out of the blue but it'll be I think like his 3rd year of that deal he signed and his cap figure might be a bit inflated).
Remember OG becomes a free agent so we get some relief there not having to pay him anymore.
I wouldn't say the "plan" was to have Fletch take over for Madison because thats not true. If he's gonna take over for a player like Madison he's got to earn it cuz they won't do it unless they are comfortable that he will be just as good or close. The spent the first round pick on him because of the possibility of him doing that though, which gives them all kinds of leeway in contract negotiations, trade-bait, salary cap relief, etc. I dont think Sam will be cut next year.
I'll say the following get cut: Ruddy (McKinney), DG (sign a FA), Bowens (draft a 1st rounder), Rodgers (pull a Morlon in the draft), and Brock Marion (if he's slipped some).
