Next Year's Cap Situation

[drew54]

This is why using the draft is so cap friendly. Any time a team drafts a young guy they can cut the guys who were originally signed as starters (Patten, Wynn, etc.) and are now backups.

Thus taking the hit now rather than later.

Look at the Eagles for example. They verry rarely let people who are no longer starters remain on the team unless they are contributing.
