$17M dead money, $3M cap savings if he is cut next offseason. He’ll be back.

Hurneymagic just converted a bunch of his salary to bonus greatly limiting our flexibility with his contract.

We will miss KK but i will really worry once we lose one of these pass rushers.

It took them almost two weeks to diagnose that?

Not with the new extension/restructure he just got.  He's here another season at minimum.

Sucks but we have plenty of depth and should be okay. Especially if Butler builds off of last game’s performance.

He tried to see if he could just practice through it and still play this season. Happens sometimes with a torn cuff. Turns out he can't so IR.

Here's the thing, many on here have maligned the Butler pick because he never broke the rotation, but as we have seen time and time again, this staff doesn't play talent over veterans. Now in KK, Star, and most recently Poe's cases Butler was behind those three. 

With no excuses not to be on the field anymore it will be interesting to see if this guy steps up. Sack strip to seal the game last week, at the least for now his stock is up even in the tiniest. 

Gonna suck without KK, but this is a layer that is worth following. The defense has been stellar, and more so than anything it's been the edge pressure forcing QB's to stay in / step up. We are well equipped to move forward, but it SUCKS moose cack.

ButtButt can't be cut. Too much dead cap.

It's season-ending. He'll rehab and get ready for 2020.

Is he designated for return or is he done for the season?

 

4-6 month recovery time. May be back for the Superb Owl.

We'll be fine, but are there any pass rushing DT's available?

Sh-t.

We need to add some more defensive lineman to the pratice squad.  With Cox coming up we only have 1 left.  It would be nice to have more Cox.
