Terry McLaurin- 3 years, 68 million. Visibly has lost a step, currently on pace for less than 1,000 receiving yards in 17 games.
Jon Allen- 4 years, 72 million. He’s been better at jumping offsides and giving motivational speeches than anything else this year.
Daron Payne- 4 years, 90 million. Non-factor in the pass rush this year, low effort on a lot of plays, hasn’t been a disruptor in the run game.
Cutting or Trading Allen Pre June is a Net plus $3 Mil CAP savings
Cutting or Trading Terry pre-June is a net minus $5 mil. Cap hit
Cutting or Trading Payne pre-June is a net minus $15mil CAP hit
That all needs to be factored in too. So, in 24 you will have Terry and Payne about $20m in dead Cap, then, on top of that, pay their replacements, If Allen’s replacement is +3m APV it is more expensive to lose him. I almost sure that will not get us the same quality player.
I am disappointed in their performance, but I think even that has been adequate, to expensive this season, but adequate. I would not use Cap space to open up even more holes in the Team. I would use the money to fill other holes like at corner, O-line, edge rushers, resign Curl, replace/resign Gibson & Samuel, maybe a veteran back-up QB, maybe some linebackers? Of course use the Draft - that is where we will successful rebuild.
TLDR: It doesn’t make financial sense to cut/trade Terry and Payne. I think it is problematic to do it with Allen & likely leaves us a weaker Team. We have too many other holes in this Team to create more next season.
Terry can’t do anything WHEN HOWELL SUCKS DICK.
Allen should have been gone a long time ago, was never good
Payne has been decent, the only current member of the front 7 who actually makes plays
Out of the three of them, Allen has above avg impact but all three are having down years
Everyone on this team has looked bad.
It’s the coaching.
This team has talent. There is zero reason any professional football team should ever be this bad unless it is the coaching.
Rivera and his nepotism crony crew are absolute dog water.
I think they have done ok.
