Hart is a big one that there's speculation that gets cut. If we cut him before FA starts and don't sign a starting caliber RT, then every team knows we're going T in 1 or 2 in the draft and can jump you if they need one.
This was my thinking too. Not that it is in the player to be cuts best interest, but it is a negotiating piece as well. A player/agent coming into negotiations knowing we have a glaring hole at 3T by cutting Geno now, has a justification to drive up asking price during the deal. Whereas we keep some of these on the fence players until we have their replacement, if we hear a proposal we like we can be at the advantage. A ton of players are getting whacked and its going to come to a point where they just want a place to go to work. The 1 year deals will be a hot ticket as they look to prove it before the market resets next year.
