Cutting Johnson would have a dead money cost of $2.25 mill or only 1.125 if cut after June 1st. That would free up $2.875 or $4 mill depending on when the cut is made. Ideally you would draft a replacement and then keep Johnson till at least June 1st to give the team time to assess the new guy and also to save cash. Maybe you don't even cut MJ till next season, which I think is more likely.
As to cutting Pacman; you have said it costs too much in dead money, which is not true. Cutting Pacman would incur a paltry $1.33 mill in dead money but net over $6 mill in cap space this season. Also you’re missing a nuance in cutting Pacman and resigning Dre K. That is you work on a new contract with Dre K and in that contract you have available to you the extra $6 mill you would get when you cut Pacman, assuming Dre K resigns. You don’t cut Pacman first then try to resign Dre K.
sorry there was a lot of things i did not clarify. We should keep Micheal Johnson as a backup I want to cut tj and put bodine as backup center. Only works if we draft a guy like elflien or orlosky. As far as cutting pacman we never like having any dead money and generally have close to none so adding over a million I don't see it. Also ur assuming Dre k wants to resign here. I think he does but on the off chance he wants to sign wherever they pay him the most, lest say we cut pacman and offered Dre k 8.5 million a year for 5 years. U don't think that someone will over him a Josh Norman type contract? Bc I think that there are desperate teams out there that would. That's why it's not worth the risk of cutting pacman imo. If we did and lost Dre K due to Norman type contract we would be dealing with wjiii, Shaw, and Russell as starting corners with no depth. Not listing dennard bc he's always hurt. Would u trust that secondary? Obviously this is worst case but entirely plausible.
