nd you need to then spend 420k on another punter that is rather unknown. You'd save only 800k, but sacrificing a solid punter for an unknown.
Are you sure about this?
Only the top 51 players count against the cap and we'll have several at $420k that don't count.
So we'd save $1.25 million by cutting him this year

Next year is the better time to do it, not this.
Its an obvious choice that year.

True, but that is considering we don't have a 400-500k salary player on this team come next year.
Even at 1.25mil in savings, you lose 2.15mil in dead money. It just isn't as worthwhile when we lose more in dead money than savings.
For underperforming players, anything 1:1 or better is perfect (Hawthorne's case 3mil savings, 3mil dead), anything worse than 1:1 is not ideal (Grubbs' case 6.0mil dead, 3.6mil savings).
Cutting Grubbs next year saves us 7.3mil, but we lose 3.0mil, that is an ideal time. Perfect scenario too because solid guards like: Marshal Yanda (32 y/o in 2016), Alex Boone (29 y/o in 2016), and David DeCastro (26 y/o in 2016) hit the market. Don't have to spend 2 draft pick on guards when you can get a young vet like decastro.
