Not the first time I've brought this up, but the c**ks***ers that run the NFL have zero business LOWERING the cap. The NFL made billions despite the lack of crowds, they have the money to keep the cap the same at a minimum. Lowering the cap in any way is a total BS move.
That said,
Another thread regarding secondary and it seems pretty damn unanimous that Vaccaro is out. Thanks for the play, but a Hooker is cheaper and probably isn't a big step down, plus he still has STDs (Special Teams Demand).
This cutting Butler idea is just bad. Best defensive guy. Shouldn't even be considering cutting him. Restructure, maybe if possible, but that "best D player" part probably means he keeps his contract.
AJ25, if he can't be re-signed for cheaper, he's gotta go. Re-sign King is better spent money to me. Again, IF 1 has to go.
Don't waste money on Clowney.
Try to get a FA pass rusher, even if the absolute best one is not available. I'll take a "lower tier" FA to add in the mix with the guy(s) that get drafted. The draft will be cheap and maybe get 2-3 pass rushers.
