But even if he is gone..the cost remains the same.  We gain nothing in terms of "cost" by having him cut.

What promising young player are we removing for Butler?

Who do we even have at his position that’s promising? I would love to throw Butler out the door, but we don’t really have another option right now unless we find someone in cuts. Of course then you’re replacing him with someone else who couldn’t make a team.

Could make a trade for someone I guess.

I'm not saying cut him now. I'm talking about as we are getting down to the 53 we have guys we intend to stash on the practice squad in the hope no other team will poach. We actually have some promising talent in the backfield too. Then there's this situation at kicker.

Again, it's about making tough choices down the line.

I don't know who some of these people are.

All that matters is that the guy you replace him with is better. Depth isn't uniform so another teams cut player could be better than our backup player. Example: there are teams that would love a chance at Slye and the fact we would have to cut him wouldn't be a negative in their evaluation. It wasn't with KC and Butcker.

There is a chance we could find someone better than him but it's unfortunately not guaranteed.

But we can’t drop a DL to keep one of those guys can we? We are already ultra thin there as it is.

players who get cut on Friday instead of Saturday usually dont get asked back to the P-squad.

Well kicker is a bit different than DL since you only keep 1 per team. I don’t think there are many if any at all that are so deep on the DL that they are cutting useful players. Would love it if someone solid becomes available and we are able to pick them up though.

Also, Butler really isn’t that worthless for the job he needs to do which is just to provide depth for 20 or so snaps a game.

Good news for Terry Godwin, PR sot might be his.

White still being on the roster is interesting....

Elder and Doss getting cut looks positive for Elliot and Luke.
