Trade him before next season. I was already annoyed with the guy anyway. Pretty sad when I had a better feeling seeing 59 making a play on the ball carrier than 96.

A trade would be an accellerated $3m cap hit. Not sure what an outright cut would mean to the cap.

Either way, I agree. If the perception is reality, then it's best to cut their losses and go in a different direction.

If there is no cap next year does it matter? You could get SOMETHING out of a trade. What would he be worth to a LB hungry team as far as picks?

No trade value unfortunately.

This was a major blunder. Paying this guy so much and tying so much money up in him. Sets a very bad example, taking the money and laughing all the way to the bank. Clubhouse lawyer to boot. Classic malcontent.

They may cut him this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if AD wants to rush the passer more. In his 3 years here, we haven't used him as a pass rusher exclusively for any stretch of time. Still, that's certainly no excuse for dogging it.

I've already wired the Jets and Browns. Expect a reply from Wrecks and Ratman by end of day.

You are right, I re-looked at Miguel's page - that is manageable, however, if things have gone wrong unlike the $7.3M it would have cost this year.

Why not try letting Thomas play more of the role Burgess has been asked to getting after the passer, and let Burgess drop in coverage more... they both have been ailing respectively.

His salary is 5M next year or something like that. At that salary, no I don't think there's any demand.

If he were signed for 1M maybe, but he's not.

And again, that is only if there is a cap next year, RIGHT?
