His dead cap if cut next year (or traded) is only 2 million and frees up 9.5 million.
Not sure what is going on with him and his illness but hopefully it isn't something too serious.
Hope he recovers and is OK. Nothing against the guy personally. But he was poor before he got sick. Though the illness may have been contributing to that.
Yes, he should be cut. Take that $9 mil and pay BJ Hill or a similar FA DT who is average or better vs the run and pass. I'd love to steal Ford or Tart from the Chargers. If we add an early/early-ish pick to that, and assume Jenkins & Jackson improve, the DT room would be acceptable. And we could even afford to pass in the draft and still be ok-ish with Hill, Ford/Tart, Jackson, Jenkins +1.
DT detaft prospects:
RD 1: Harmon, Grant, Nolen
Rd2: Walker, Burch (DE/DT), Williams, Sanders
Rd2-3: Norman-Lott, Turner
Rd3-4: Collins, Stackhouse
DT rooks typically struggle, so I'd prefer 1-2 FA signings and only 1 rook DT. Though there are decent prospects across multiple rounds. DT & NT types.
