Hilton
We would weaken our secondary, trying to save money for next year. Just can't see that happening
Teams do that every off-season. Is Hill as good of a player as Hilton? No, probably not (even though Hill has some good underlying metrics from the slot). Is the 6.5M in cap savings worth the 15-20% decline in production? Maybe it is. It's a calculation you see across the league. If they can use that 6.5M to improve the roster elsewhere (or ensure the future of the roster), they will consider it.
The more I look at his contract and age, the more likely I think it is. It's better to move on from a player 1 year too early than 1 year too late.
