re: Jabari Greer's Contract Situation

To figure out savings you take Cap Hit(what he currently costs) and subtract Dead Money(what he would still cost).
$5.425 - $3.975 = $1.45 mil
So we'd save $1.45 mil toward the cap cutting him. I only see him getting cut if they really need that extra bit.
More likely would be Jenkins who'd save us $2.5 and is not as good of a player(unless they move him back to corner after cutting Greer; he'd be a younger, cheaper option though still not as good imo).
Or a running back(Ingram is not cuttable; he'd cost us money to cut). Thomas saves $2.5. Sproles saves $2.25. Rescinding Ivory's offer saves about $2.
As a June 1st cut, come June 1st he'd save us another $2.65 mil(his signing bonus next year and the year after). At that point he is definitely cuttable.

Sportrac and Rotoworld appear at adds on this one. Sportrac only has him at $4m in dead money. Per Rotoworld, Greer had $11.3m guaranteed with his extension. So far, he's only seen $2.6m of the signing bonus (including this season) and the first year's guaranteed base salary ($2.4m). That would leave him with over $5m remaining in guarantees, greater than his $3.6m base + $400k roster bonus.
I think it's a "mute" point, though, as there no guarantee that Asomugha is even a better player than Greer right now. He's still a solid contributor despite his age.
