How much dead money would we eat if Jordan, Ram, Mike Thomas were cut, retired or traded. Are we seriously stuck with restructuring AGAIN and extending contracts for underperforming players? And what do you do with Davis? He's playing well but almost 35 years old.

Do we kick the can down the road again for Kamera, Latimore, Taysom, McCoy? Also, if we cut Winston and Peat, arent there a load of dead money there?

Man, we're screwed

We have no valuable trade pieces other than rookies or players still on rookie deals.

Sucks but all those restructures over the last two years are albatrosses. Even the players that are good enough to trade no one will because of their contracts.

Only if ownership is being negligent and allows our GM to think we are still in win now mode.

We shouldn't, but we probably will

Peat is starting, playing well enough
Davis is playing at a high level
Winston isn’t even under contract
Jordan is injured and will get better
Thomas is on a 1 year deal

Yet you people continue to cry and melt every year about the cap

We could cut every player on the roster that would generate a positive cap hit from the cut and we would still be $50M over the cap

We MUST restructure in order to get cap compliant. It is not optional.
