He's not worth the money he's being paid and shaving 8mil off the cap when that money can go to better use is always better. You don't overpay people just for the sake of overpaying. You can roll over any unused salary cap.

Good morning. I didn't expect a reply so soon. Anyway, I think we need him this year so I'd bite the bullet on his contract. He's a FA next season, so the burden is short term.

He might be overpaid but he contributes to the team. Letting him go creates a unnecessary hole for no reason other than to save cap room. And who are you going to pick up with that cap room this late in FA/trade? It's not like there's a bunch of great players on the market right now. I am sure if there is a player McC or Gruden wants right now they have the financial flexibility to make it happen.

imo I think its a fair price to garcon...maybe a 1 million or 1.5 over pay. I think the process of trying to replace him, chemistry, etc. maybe wouldn't be worth it. I think he does a good job

Unless there's a dire need for the cap
space (there isn't) cutting him makes no sense.

But where are you going to spend 8 mil this season? Saving 8 mil on a contract is nice, but we arent signing anyone else for 8 mil a year unless you are talking an extension for Djax or Cousins. Gallete wont be signed long term till we see what he can do. Doesnt make any sense to cut Pierre this season.

You don't have to spend it. You can carry any unused cap space into next season. You guys realize you can do this now with the new CBA right? Why wouldn't you carry that 8mil of unused space into a season knowing you potentially have to sign a mega contract to your QB.
