Coming off a total knee destruction I’d have to cut him. I just can’t see us hoping he comes back healthy. I’d love to keep him around but for less money. History says Mike Brown is going to honor the full contract so i don’t expect him to get cut. But that was before we made 2 AFCCG. The iron is hot we need to strike
A team cannot release an injured player without an injury settlement. I do not see LC being healthy until after the midseason at the earliest, thus he will begin the season on IR and he will not count against the cap until he is able to play again.
