Potential Offseason Cuts and Cap Savings

Here are some players who, in my judgment, are vulnerable to being handed their walking papers. Some are only slight possibilities to get cut (like Thrash because Gibbs loves him on special teams), others are locks (like John Hall). But these are the possibles.

Mark Brunell - $2.33 m
Renaldo Wynn - $2.5 m
Phillip Daniels - $1.9 m
John Hall - $1.5 m
Troy Vincent - $1.37 m
James Thrash - $1.3 m
Todd Collins - $1.25 m
Christian Fauria - $1.0 m
Mike Rumph - $1.0 m
Joe Salave'a - $710K
Pierson Prioleau - $710K
Lemar Marshall - $600K
Demetric Evans - $600K
Khary Campbell - $500K
Rock Cartwright - $450K
Nick Novak - $435K

We'd also save a bit by cutting Jansen, Randy Thomas, or Rabach. But I'm assuming that ain't happening.

These are the guys we're stuck with 'till death do us part (or till salary cap hell do us in). We can't renegotiate to give us much relief in '07, and we can't cut them or we'll absorb this:

Antwaan Randle El: $7.5 m hit to cut
Andre Carter: $6.8 m hit to cut
Adam Archuleta: $6.5 m hit to cut
Brandon Lloyd: $6.5 m hit to cut
Carlos Rogers: $5.3 m hit to cut
David Patten: $2.2 m hit to cut

Not that we'd want to cut all those guys (except ahem, Archuleta).

Keepers:
Troy Vincent - $1.37 m
James Thrash - $1.3 m
Joe Salave'a - $710K
Pierson Prioleau - $710K
Lemar Marshall - $600K
Demetric Evans - $600K
Khary Campbell - $500K
Rock Cartwright - $450K
Nick Novak - $435K

I dont see these guys getting cut....
Renaldo Wynn - $2.5 m (I think he'll restructure)
Phillip Daniels - $1.9 m ( " "_
Troy Vincent - $1.37 m
James Thrash - $1.3 m
Todd Collins - $1.25 m
Pierson Prioleau - $710K
Lemar Marshall - $600K
Demetric Evans - $600K
Rock Cartwright - $450K
Those last 5 I think are real good, cheap talent.

cut them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

id cut those in bold, and id consider cutting archie, depending on how much we would save

They would more than make up the $6.5 mil they'd lose by cutting Archuleta with dumping Brunell, Daniels and Wynn. ($6.73 million)

Can anyone honestly say there would be any noticeable difference with the latter two off the team?

What I'm saying is we have Archuleta on the books next year for $2.5 million. If we cut him, we'll have to eat $9 million, meaning we'd take an incremental $6.5 million hit to axe his ass.

Like I said, till death do us part.

id rather us keep wynn because of his leadership, hes a character guy, but his role has been minimized, and unelss he restructures he has to go

Renaldo Wynn - $2.5 m


Renaldo Wynn -- played in all 16 games in 2005, had 24 tackles and half a sack with one pass defended. Let's be honest, would he make the roster for any other team in the NFL that isn't as hung up on "locker room leaders" ??

What's his "leadership" done for us this year?
