Predicting 10 Surprising Nfl Salary Cap Casualties

[DKphin]

I don't think I would say this is surprising. I do expect him to be picked up on the cheap and since he is no longer on our roster, finally live up to his ability. That is just the irony that befalls our franchise.

DeVante Parker, wide receiver, Miami Dolphins

Despite a relatively mediocre roster, Miami heads into free agency with the fifth-smallest amount of cap space in the entire NFL. Something certainly has to give on this front if the team wants to become relevant again. Moving on from Ryan Tannehill and Robert Quinn would help in that regard. Though, Parker’s 2019 cap number coupled with his lack of production makes him a likely salary cap casualty.

Miami had previously picked up the $9.39 million option on Parker’s contract for next season. None of that is guaranteed. The team would save exactly that amount under the cap by releasing the former first-round pick. Having failed to put up as much as 800 receiving yards in each of his first four NFL seasons, Parker simply isn’t worth that cash.

I think he is gone first day of the new season.

Just goes to show how out of touch the media is with this franchise. This doesn't come as a surprise for anyone who follows Miami.

 

[royalshank]

Surprise to no one.

 

[Travis34]

Had such high hopes for him to be an AJ Green lite...

Too bad

Cut the cord

 

[maralieus]

I could definitely see him in Cleveland

 

[lbmclean_nocal]

If he turns into a good WR then it will surprise the **** out of me

The guy has undeniable ability. But he can't stay healthy and it just seems that he doesn't work hard enough to stay healthy. Lots of small avoidable injuries. I had high hopes for the guy, but he just doesn't seem to have that killer-instinct or forceful will to win needed to bring out the best in his natural ability. Disappointing. I wish him the best of luck with his next team, as long as it's not in the AFC East.

Parker getting cut won’t surprise anyone on this forum. What he gets paid in free agency will shock a lot of people

 

[Wishfishin]

Parker didn't get it done in Miami. Once he's gone, I won't have any seconds thoughts about him no matter how he performs.

 

[Mr Fan]

What undeniable talent? I see a physically weak lanky receiver with questionable hands and no work ethic.

Simply dont care, draft a tall WR and youll get the same production for less than 800K

How is anything to do with cutting that guy surprising

 

[CoryMatthews]

I think his heart has never been in it and was happy just making the money he did while giving the least possible effort.

 

[ckparrothead]

I say this again, if the Patriots part ways with Devin McCourty, look for Brian Flores to lobby HARD for him to be brought in here in Miami. He will make the case that McCourty will help him establish the defense so that younger players can eventually take it over.

I bet Parker lands in Buffalo
