1.) Every team in the NFL uses this method it really isn't that bad of a strategy it just isn't that sexy of one.
2.) I disagree that there won't be good players cut there usually is. For example the Giants could reasonably cut Kevin Zeitler ( Giants would save 12 Million) and the Raiders could cut a guy like Tyrell Williams(Raiders would save 11.6 Million). Both guys would be instant cheap quality starters here at two needs positions.
