My guess is if 3/1 comes without an extension the Skins will cut down to the minimum of 43 players and hope an extension is done after 3/1. Most of the logical cut targets had their cut savings reduced last year when Snyder did a wave of restructures so he could do the Coles/Moss deal so the largest amount the team can save by cutting one player is 2M by axing Bowen or Harris and those amounts are small bites of a 21-23M apple.

Yes. No deal means drastic measures, beyond the "logical" cuts. I think the owners may want to avoid putting Snyder in this position, though, because they want concessions from him on revenue sharing. This is his hole card.
