Surprise cuts

[CJD]

I'll go with the DE position as well:

Wallace Gilberry.

I think Hunt and Clarke improve greatly this year in training camp and the preseason. Gilberry was dreadful last year, and while it is true that he was asked to perform as more than just a situational pass rusher, leaving him more tired, the truth is he isn’t even really a great pass rusher.

When I think of a situational pass rusher, I think of a guy who is either so big he’s difficult to block or a guy so quick that he can run around players.

Gilberry is an average player in every regard, who was relegated to situational pass rusher because he is not good enough (Clearly) to have any additional snaps other than when he can just pin his ears back.

Hardison is more athletic, bigger and stronger than Gilberry and could be both a situational pass rusher from DE and DT.

We’d lose nothing from replacing Gilberry with Hardison, and we’d also to get to keep the high upside defensive linemen, Still, Clarke and Hunt, while holding onto the run stopping specialist, Sims.
