I wonder how many of these guys are cut candidates who took the opt out value as a financial benefit over being released.
Unless you are in the high risk category there is not much financial benefit you gain for opting out. And even then it is only 300k. The only ones who'd really benefit are high risk fringe players that are not eligible for vet minimum deals.
In fact players like Hightower put themselves into a precarious situation where they will be on a fully non guaranteed contract with no dead money next year.
