Most of the guys who are cut candidates from here, and all the large contract guys,: Hubbard, Cappa, Pratt, Stone. I would not release them until a replacement is in hand.
We have about $60 mil in space now, even without a Burrow restructure. More than enough to get Tee signed and do the Chase/Hendrickson extensions. The latter two being extensions, the vap hitcthere will only be the prorated signing bonus.
Even if Tee comes on at $30, the latter two are likely only around $15 total. $15 mil to spare. $34 if you get the Burrow restructure done.
Heck, that's enough for Gesicki, Hilton, & Hill and then some, if we want.
FWIW, we had 9 guys grade out at 70+ at PFF (who played significant snaps). Burrow (93.9), Chase (85.8), and Hendrickson (88.1) are obvious. Chase Brown (75.7) & Logan Wilson(72.3) less so. The other 4? Higgins (88.2), Hilton (75.9), Gesicki (71.5), and BJ Hill (70.2).
Anyway, even the 2nd tier cut candidates like Moss & Volson, I'd wait until we have upgrades lined up (or drafted) before I cut them loose.
