use the views from spotrac like HERE

the dead money column shows what has to be accounted for

so his base $3.6mil minus the dead $3.975 means it would only cost $375K to cut him.

Definitely cuttable if ya wanted or needed to. Not a bad value at $3.6mil IMO. Maybe if they needed the cap space for bringing in NA.

If we cut him, would all of the dead money count against this tear's cap? Or would it still stay spread out over 3 years?

but a june 1st cut, it'd be spread over 2 years thus saving 1.6 million this year?

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.
