Would you rather get a 4th or 5th rounder for Dalton but eat up $5 mill of Dalton's remaining $17.7 mill to reduce the new team's cap hit?
Or would you rather just cut him to save the full $17.7 mill but not get another draft pick?
For me personally, I'd rather just cut so that I can use that extra $5 mill toward a proven veteran, as the chance for a 4th or 5th rounder to turn into a solid-or-better starter is (very) low.
Agree, how many 5th rounders make an NFL team ? 1 in 10 ? open up the money for free agency
