Why not keep Andy as a backup?

Cutting Hart would hurt the team. We don’t have much depth at tackle. We have two guys fighting for that right tackle spot. One’s a backup the other a starter. Cutting one of those guys leaves a hole at backup right tackle.

We need bodies at wide receiver and returner. Alex Erickson can play the slot and does a great job returning. He deserves a shot at a spot.

I just don't see there being room. We need to sign our draft picks prior to training camp. Those draft picks need to earn a spot on the roster. We need bodies going into camp.

They can possibly work some magic with their extensions to free up cap space this year, but will it be enough?

I’m just trying to be realistic here. I don’t disagree with you that Andy has value and is nice insurance. It would be nice to have him help take pressure off Burrow early and help bring him along.

I think it is interesting you think Williams (may not start) is more valuable than Dalton who could start in 2020. WE have depth at safety now and we also drafted some smallish LB's that could play safety as well.

But the point is there a few guys (GIO) or Erickson who could ease the cap situation to get us through TC. If we find some great FA OL, ten we cut AD, but why cut him prior to having someone in the building.

We could save almost 8 million by cutting Gio and Shaun Williams
