Keep Pounding ( or pouting since we are 1-9 )
Edit: my apologies for the repetitive title . It sounded better thinking it and not saying out loud
Offense:
Player Dead Money Zavala $0.6m Hurst $9.8m Sanders $10.5m Thomas $3.75m TMJ $380k Chark $3.1m Zavala, TMJ, most likely, unless they see TMJ as still useful ‘depth’. Chark’s is 3.1m dead money anyway, he’s on a one year contract with void years.
Thomas I can see being restructured and extended maybe. He’s not bad as a depth tight end.
Hurst and Sanders? Those are going to hurt. Might be worth just eating that dead cap for a reset, but that’s over $20m in dead cap.
Defense:
- Burns gets tagged and traded, or tagged and extended. He’s not a top 5 edge rusher but he is a premium edge rusher, and we really shouldn’t throw him away.
- Injuries are fluky, and Donte is a fine CB2. I hope we try to keep him, we need every CB we can get.
- Shaq is $6.24m dead money, few void years on the end there after - half of that is dead money no matter what, so it’s really about $3m dead money to cut him early. I don’t see the value in cutting him.
- CJ Henderson - we neeeed depth and he’s not great. As long as we pay him like a CB3/4 I don’t mind it.
- Woods is $6m dead money. I don’t think we cut him.
- I don’t think we cut the depth defensive pieces that are on rookie contracts, unless we get more promising rookies/cheap FAs. These guys shouldn’t be starting, we’re just really thin on depth, any team would be struggling with them.
