Displacement territory meaning in terms of counting cap space, you not only add the new salary, but are subtracting salary of someone getting bumped off the top 51.
A lot of the guys at the bottom of the roster have a zero dead cap number (all the PS guys save for Brown, Adomitis, Chrisman, Irwin, Ford, Tufele, George, Thomas, B. Wilson). Or one under $100k (Brown, Bailey, Morgan, T. Williams, Adeniji, Gunter, Bachie, Evans, T. Hill). Or even sub $250 k (Tupou, J. Davis, McPherson, Scharping, ADG, Anderson, D. Smith). Those are the guys most likely to go. We aren't saving money by cutting them, it is just a matter of getting beat out by a superior player. And it does not cost us much (or anything) to let them go.
The only small salaried guy with a larger dead cap that I could see getting let go is Carter ($655,875).
Jonah, Mixon, & Collins are in a different category.
