Don't forget, Jordan is in a contract year next season too.



Jordan has a 5th year team option that costs about 75% of the cost of the franchise tag. The team will certainly pick it up.

Sproles is replaceable with Khiry Robinson.


He's not even close. Sproles can be used to create mismatches. I think he's worth the $3.5m it would save to cut him. I can guarantee that he'll get that much elsewhere, so asking for him to take a paycut won't work.

If I'm reading this right: We can cut Will Smith, Jabari Greer, Lance Moore, D. Sproles, Harper, and Robinson and save around $36 million against the cap (somebody correct me if I'm wrong).


Don't feel like going through and adding the numbers up, but I'd be shocked if it were that much. They can save a good bit by designating two of them as post June 1st cuts/cut the others after June 1st and push the signing bonus accelerations into next season, but that really leaves us in a mess for 2015.

It's actually only $23.5ish mil.
