Anderson and Ellis are JAGS in everyone's world but yours. Carter is 31 and has played above his head.
Haynesworth and Ochocinco were the alleged "big splashes", the ones people were talking about. Both have been, and I'll say it again, EPIC FAILURES and huge wastes of money.
You brought up the money part of the equation. Not every player is equal.
The one guy who is solid and gets it is Andre Carter and is worth every penny of $2.25 million cap figure. Anderson at $375k on the cap is fine for depth and Ellis at $2.75 million for one year is the biggest risk of the defensive linemen.
Haynesworth was the biggest name but the least of all at a $975k cap hit if cut. Not epic. It was worth a shot but everyone knew it was a risk. My guess is that Haynesworth was a PUP experiment while Brace and Deaderick rehabbed from surgery and Kyle Love got increasing time next to Vince. Love has worked out and Brace is back. Sayonara, Albert.
#85 at over $5 million over the life of his deal, is the biggest free agent bust and is the one everybody hopes will ultimately work out. I doubt it.
But Haynesworth being cut is not a big financial deal at all.
