Would 15 million more help?

[Russ57]

If we cut the following guys, who all have a zero dead cap hit, we would gain another 15.2 million. Cut Baker and Ogbah and you can gain another 14.7 million, again with no dead cap hit.

Sam Eguavoen	$850,000​
Jomal Wiltz	$850,000​
Lynn Bowden	$824,064​
Salvon Ahmed	$780,000​
Nate Holley	$780,000​

Baker and Ogbah aren’t going to be cut. But out of that list give me Ahmed and Bowden. Everyone else can sod off.

 

[Feverdream]

LOL... not how this works.

 

[Feverdream]

You cut all those guys and it generates zero cap space. zero.

Not one of these guys are in the top 51-- thus, they don't count against the cap.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

only the highest 51 paid players count against the cap

 

[ONole1]

That's not completely correct. This time of year it's the top 51 salaries. Team don't get penalize for the 90 spots for camp.

 

[Gatorboy999120]

Restructuring Byron Jones’ massive contract and maybe a few others might help!

 

[Gsmack_42]

So cut 20 players for 15 million get 7 players for 15 million. Know tell me how do you fill the other 13 spots of the 53 man roster.

According to the Spotrac cap list, you'd have to start cutting contracts at around 800K and above (like Lynn Bowden) to get any salary cap space. And then you're really only getting back that amount minus what the 52nd person on the list would make. Like cutting Sam Eguavoen at $850K would only get you an additional $70K or so (it's complicated because you're always adding and subtracting).

A swing and a miss

Exactly right.

If we sign an FA for 1M per year... the only part that really matters is the amount that it is OVER your 52nd guy.

so... about 150K.

I would cut Hurns post June. I would restructure with Albert Wilson or cut him. Fejeldem is another that I would cut.

What do you need the money for?

There's plenty of ways to free up cash if we need to.

 

[Russ57]

Sorry guys, didn't know all the rules.

Certainly we aren't cutting Baker and Ogbah. Just mentioned what the savings could be. Doubt we would cut McKinney either but his has no dead money either.
