These 2 million in dead money stack and before you know it 10-12 million in dead money is against our cap for a full season all because we cut a bunch of JAGs.
So the option is let them play out the duration of their contracts, or cut them and have a real down year.

I'm not sure the contract details, so I can't comment on that part although I'm pretty sure Mays and Walker can be cut easier, but I could be wrong. However, we haven't even seen them play a game with this coaching staff yet.
Thing is though, all of those guys you mentioned are serviceable players. The problem is that they are being asked to play bigger roles. As much as we'd like it to be, the roster won't be made up of 53 badasses. Even the Broncos/Pats/Seahawks have those types of guys. They're just down a slot on the depth chart.
Thats where this year is going to be made or broken. If Albert Wilson and Hammond or whoever at WR are able to push Avery down to the 3rd WR, thats great. Same with Mays or Fasano or Smith.
