When you weigh our current cap landscape and things you can do to maximize it, that $3.2 becomes valuable. It’s a piece of the puzzle along w doing something w streif, restructuring morestwad etc



Our current cap landscape is 31.7mil in cap space and assuming Brees signs a long-term deal we're looking at 20mil going into free agency. Not including cuts, restructures, and extensions.

That 3.2mil won't limit you. 3.2mil can be easily had.

What's more valuable:
Fleener @ 3.2mil in savings
or
Hooman @1.6mil in savings and Banjo @1.7mil in savings
or
Stupar @1.725mil in savings and Banjo @1.7mil in savings

Or hell, all 4 of them being cut.

That 3.2 mil coupled with a few other moves becomes $10+ mil. Like I said, it's a piece of the puzzle to free up more room. We sit at 14th in cap space heading into the offseason without Brees on the books yet. There are teams with major money to spend. We need all we can get and Fleener is not vital at all to this team's success.
