Cutting...
Hart saves $5.9m
Uzomah saves $5.3m
Hopkins saves $4.3m
Bernard saves $4.1m
Finney saves $3.5m
...which is $23.1m. Which is pretty amazing when you figure that the top G and top C in FA will probably be a combined $26m, so you'd be able to cut very little good production and add a 2nd Team All-Pro G and a 1st Team All-Pro C for only $2.9m more.

I've started to believe that Price will be kept as a backup G/C, though cutting him would save another $2.1m.

Correct. All the guys you listed are probably not worth the amount of money they would currently make in 2021.
Don't forget Atkins too, who has a savings of $9.6 mill.


The only downside of cutting any of these guys is that's yet another roster spot to fill.
