I don’t think it’s anyway you can cut any D linemen/edge rusher on an already weak unit, unless you have their replacement in the bag. A guy like AShawn was our best interior lineman on a piss poor unit that five mill is cheap.

Agreed.

Wonnum, Clowney, and Robinson were only impact lineman from last season. Not sure how you justify cutting them. There is no depth behind them. They should be in line for restructures. With Brown returning they should all improve.

Tuttle on the other hand provides no value. Chalk him up as another free argent bust. He needs to go.

We need to add to the line via draft since we already have enough veterans.

Yeah, they seemed to quit up front--going through the motions.  I think A. Robinson could have been impacted by poor Tuttle/Ray play as well--they def. need to go.  But saving 5.5m and losing a DE with his experience and ability is a bit stupid.  We are likely to draft a NT/DT and a DE, so rookies will need help.  I also think A Rob will be better with Brown in the rotation.

Looks like it saves 7.5 if done after June 1.

Get Dane Jackson the fug off the team.

He might play significantly better with better players around him.  But I thought he was pretty awful last year regardless of the 5.5 sacks he tallied.  If they want to keep Clowney and Wonnum, I could see him as a likely target for cap relief.  I would imagine they are planning in bringing in some fresh faces on that line and not running it back.

Yeah, I think they overhaul that unit or at least attempt to. Since they didn't fire the man in charge, they're going to blame others, including players, and cut them.

Unfortunately for us the list of guys that need to be cut is too long so some will inevitably have to stay.

Right. Shy Tuttle seems like an easy cut but we have no current replacement
