Those moves are usually for teams that are over or right aginst the cap.

You know how many first round picks started as many as 8 games last year?  18 of 32.  Barely more than half.

You know how many 2nd round picks started as many as 8 games last year?  9 of 32.  Less than a third.

We can't just easily replace starters with rookies.

If you release shawn Williams and replace his with a rookie you are probably saving less than $3 million and you could easily end up with a starter much worse that Shawn.

The topic of the thread is if they had to save money who might be in consideration.

Who do you suggest then in this scenario?

They have to be making a considerable amount with low dead cap space I'd imagine.
