I don't know if there would be a cap hit or cap savings, but I have a strange feeling that Marty Booker could be let go.
1. I've seen many practice reports with plays being made by Maurice Mann, Josh Davis, Wes Welker, and especially Bryan Gilmore. Saban even had some praise for Kendall Newson. Saban and Linehan might want to see if one of the young receivers can step up.
2. Derrius Thompson and Booker are both possession receivers, but Thompson is cheaper.
3. I believe the rest of the guys also play special teams. Booker does not.
4. Boston is a more dynamic receiver. It's a gamble to count on Boston to stay healthy, and he does face a suspension for the substance abuse violation, but he's still looking better than Booker.
