Greg Jennings- GONE. Saves $4,000,000 in cap. Dead cap of $1.5 million.
Jordan Cameron-GONE. Saves $10,000,00 in cap. Dead Cap $2 million..
Cameron Wake-Not sure. Would save $10,000,000. The guy is good....but coming off of a Achilles? Chances aren't good. Dead cap around 1.4 Million.
Brent Grimes-GONE. Let's face it. His play has gone WAY down this year. Saves $9.5 Million in 2016, $8.5 million in 2017. Dead cap hit of $3 Million for 2016.
Dion Jordan or Quinten Coples (according to Spotrac, he has a cap hit of $7+Million? Is that true?)-GONE. You'll see why later. If we lose Vernon we keep Dion Jordan then.

Those are five. And we can save a bunch of money. I know currently we're at $154 Million. I'm not sure if that includes the rollover of about $9-10 Million. Cuts can be made but we gotta get younger at certain positions.

Keep Miller.
Try and keep Vernon.
Resign Rishard Matthews.
Sign Alex Boone from SF. Or [STRIKE]Marshal Yanda[/STRIKE] (didn't realize he signed a new deal) Kelechi Osemele is also a good option from BAL.

As for the draft. I see us finishing 5-11. So we'll be somewhere near the top. We need help along the defense. DE, LB, CB, FS
1st Round- Myles Jack LB out of UCLA. We gotta eventually be able to cover TEs.
2nd Round- Carl Nassib. We get one Nittany Lion to replace the former. Dude has 15.5 sacks this season. Has bulked up 50-60 pounds since playing. Was a walk on. Dude absolutely busts his ass off. Brother of Ryan Nassib.
3rd Round-Desmond King- CB Iowa.

Don't agree with releasing Grimes.....maybe restructure his contract. I think he can still get the job done and has the winning mindset and makes plays....I also think his dropoff this season was mostly due to the injury which I don't believe he has yet fully recovered from.

Hate to see Wake go but with that injury and his age there is no way we should keep him around for that kind of money....too many holes elsewhere.
 
Yanda isn't a free agent. He got a new deal. Boone?? Maybe a couple years ago when there was talk of trading him.

Matthews and Vernon are as good as gone and I wouldn't be so quick to count out Dion Jordan. You want coverage on TE's.....there's your man, but it is essential the new DC run a 3-4.

Grimes is finished, but they should try to get a pick for him. Wake, on the other hand, may be an effective pure pass rusher another 4 years. I would extend Wake at a lower salary and diminish his snap count.
 
Greg Jennings- GONE. Saves $4,000,000 in cap. Dead cap of $1.5 million.-yup
Jordan Cameron-GONE. Saves $10,000,00 in cap. Dead Cap $2 million..- agreed

Dion Jordan or Quinten Coples-GONE. You'll see why later. Trade him to wherever Chip Kelly (if he stays in the NFL) goes for whatever we can get and unload the rest of the $6 Million owed.-Let's see how Coples pans out. Jordan could be on Pluto next Sept for all I care about that slug

Look at cutting restructuring Misi- too much money, too little time on the field
Tanny and Suh need to be looked at to help team save money too

Keep Miller.- Yeah
Try and keep Vernon. - Let's see, I think he's part of run stopping problem and he's just turned up the pass rush production after a so-so start
Resign Rishard Matthews. - I think DeVante Parker makes this one a tough one to do. esp if Matt Hazel plays well down the stretch
Sign Alex Boone from SF. Or Marshal Yanda from BAL- Fine here. The Texans have a younger guard who might be a better get

I'd like to see an influx of SEC talent including Johnathan Bullard, Vernon Hargreaves, Jordan Jenkins,Kentrell Brothers, Eddie Jackson etc
