The point I was making was that someone mentioned that they didn't think we would cut Dre because it would leave $2 + million in dead money but that is exactly what we did last season with Preston Brown.
If Zac wants Dre cut then I think he is gone. maybe previously the HC would have been forced to keep him but not anymore because of a few million in dead money
Well I did say "likely" keeps Dre on the roster...not "definitely" keeps Dre on the roster.
Regardless of one example, I do think the dead money is a factor that Mike Brown teams will consider.
That said, maybe we can hope the FO looks at the fact that Dre missed 10 games last year and has a grand total of 1 INT in his last 33 starts.
Saying Dre hasn't lived up to his contract is a massive understatement.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
