It's assumed or maybe expected that Dre is gonna be cut
But how about WJ3 being traded at some point ?
Anybody correct me on this but isn't he due 13 million this year ?
We've seen some really good players on the move  this off season
Who's resumes are light years better than WJ3 resume
Like De Andre Hopkins....Melvin Gordon...Todd Gurley...David Johnson...Stefan Diggs...
If those guys can be moved why not WJ3?
He hasnt played at a high level since his rookie year
At best he's been average lately
I think he can be traded and the secondary won't be none the weaker. I know I'm in the minority. But whatever.
I think he has a large contract for what he produces

He is making about 10 million this year.

Trading him would be an interesting move, because he's in the final year of his contract and probably wouldn't get us much.

Cutting him does no good because 5th year options are fully guaranteed once the league year starts (which was a few days ago), so it'd just convert his salary into dead cap.

If you're looking for cap relief, cutting Dre Kirkpatrick saves you about 8.3 million. He was injured last year and is generally considered the weaker of the two corners.

With that said, we still currently have approximately 3 million in cap space left (after dead cap is accounted for.) Clearing Dalton off the books takes us back up to 20 million, with only about 11 million needed for our rookies.

That leaves us with 9 million dollars for free agency and injury insurance. So cutting Dre or Trading WJIII for cap space is not required in the least bit.

What are you foreseeing us getting in exchange for WJIII that would make trading him worth it, considering his potential as a true #1 shutdown cornerback (if we go off of his 2017 season)?
