Plus we paid Vincent Rey $5 million to be a back up, so why not Boling?
Well lets discuss the other options then. What other options do you think we have?
As for Vincent Rey, when did he have a $5 million cap hit like Boling does this year (actually $5.75 million)?
Rey had cap hits of $4.5 mil (2016), $3.25 mil (2017) and $2.75 mil (2018). Also - and this is a huge difference - Rey would've produced almost zero cap savings had he been cut at any point. Cutting Boling would save $5.25 million against the cap.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
