Tier 1 cuts would give us over 31 million in additional cap space and a ton of cash as well which will be needed if we decide to tag or sign Tee long term. Those 4 cuts would give us 94 million in cap space. Those in my tier 4, only one is a current starter we would need to replace and spend cap and cash. The other 3 are backups or non-contributors in 2024.
Hibbard lost his starting job, and Murphy is simply better now. Cappa gets paid too well for an average OG. Rankins has not seen the field due to injury and sickness and Jenkins and McKinley appear to be ready to take next step in 2025. Chase Brown is our RB1 and Moss saves us almost 4 million in cap space if we cut him. Stone is playing better of late, but it depends on what is available in FA or if decide to go saftey in round 1 of draft (I don't think we will, but possible).
I agree with your cuts, Ossai is on the last year of his deal and as bad as the pass rushers are behind Trey, he still gets some pressure
and should be cheap with his lack of sacks. I would bring back Ossai, give Trey his extension and bring back BJ on Defense. That is about
it though, we can upgrade easily from your cuts here. Those guys bring nothing. They just take up money and roster spots. I know Stone
has gotten some picks lately but that is all he brings, he is a bad tackler and not great in coverage either. DJ Ivey gave him his last pick.
Pratt takes such bad angles, we can do better than him as well pretty sure. He will make a play here and there and then blow another.
Fire Lou and let the new DC bring in his guys for his system though, if BJ and Ossai don't fit, move on and add players that do.
