Chiefs NFC East potential cuts - Brandon Carr - Page 3

**FRCDFED** · 08:43 AM

I know many wanted to keep Carr over Flowers at the time. Some thought Carr wanted to play for Dallas so KC had no chance to retain him anyway. Others thought KC should've made an offer equal to what Dallas had on the table. What say ye now?

Cut Candidates: NFC East

Nick Mensio highlights 20 players from the NFC East who may be salary-cap casualties this offseason

With the Super Bowl behind us, we’re shifting into offseason mode here at Rotoworld. In a salary-cap league with non-guaranteed contracts like the NFL, the offseason is a time teams rid themselves of players not living up to their pay scale. Every year, handfuls among handfuls of players are asked to take pay cuts or simply released outright. Before free agency opens March 10, I’ll highlight names from each team who may be on the roster bubble. According to several reports, the salary cap is expected to rise to roughly $142 million in 2015. Terms to know are "cap number", "cap savings", "cash savings", and "dead money". Cap number is how much Player X will count against Team X's salary cap. Cap savings is how much Team X will clear in salary-cap space by cutting Player X. Cash savings is how much Team X will save in terms of sheer cash, and it can be formulated by Player X's base salary + bonuses. Dead money is how much Player X will count against Team X's salary cap, even if he is released. I already took a look at the AFC East here, the AFC North here, the AFC South here, and the AFC West here.

Mensio’s Note: For detailed salary cap and contract information, go check out OverTheCap.com. Salary figures and cap numbers are from them. I’d also like to give a shout-out to self-proclaimed salary cap enthusiast Andrew Cohen for answering several questions for me. Follow him on Twitter here.

DALLAS COWBOYS

CB Brandon Carr
Cap number: $12.717M
Cap savings: $566K
Cash savings: $8M
Dead money: $12.151M

Carr has been a monumental bust since inking a five-year, $50.1M contract ahead of the 2012 season. We kept hearing how ex-DC Monte Kiffin’s zone concepts were to blame for Carr’s poor play. Current DC Rod Marinelli brought back the man-coverage scheme in 2014, and Carr was still horrendous. He graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 94th-ranked cover corner out of 108 qualifiers. Carr played better toward the end of the season, but that was after the Cowboys moved him off opposing No. 1 receivers. Currently scheduled to have the Cowboys third-highest cap charge in 2015, Carr should be an easy post-June 1 cut. It will allow the Cowboys to spread the cap hit over the next two seasons and free up $8M after June 1.

DT Henry Melton
Cap number: $9.250M
Cap savings: $8.5M
Cash savings: $9M
Dead money: $751K

The Cowboys don’t necessarily need to “cut” Melton; they simply will refuse to pick up his three-year, $24M team option on February 15, making him a free agent. After missing 13 games in 2013 with a torn ACL, Melton appeared in all 16 regular-season contests before missing both playoff games with a bone bruise in his knee. He was his trademark pass-rushing self as the Cowboys’ starting three-technique defensive tackle, getting after the quarterback and racking up five sacks. He’s just too light to hold up against the run. Melton has always expressed a desire to play for his home-state Cowboys. Look for the two sides to try and work out a new deal.

OG Mackenzy Bernadeau
Cap number: $2.824M
Cap savings: $1.5M
Cash savings: $1.5M
Dead money: $1.324M

The Cowboys are set along their interior offensive line with LG Ronald Leary, C Travis Frederick, and RG Zack Martin. Bernadeau is quality depth and can play multiple spots, but the Cowboys need the money to fill out the rest of the roster that is extremely short on depth.

OLB Dekoda Watson
Cap number: $1.25M
Cap savings: $1.25M
Cash savings: $1.25M
Dead money: $0

Watson signed a three-year, $6.25M contract with the Jaguars last March. He ended up missing all of OTAs and minicamp with a groin injury and never could get on track in Jacksonville before getting cut in November. The Cowboys later inked Watson for the stretch run, but he didn’t play a single defensive snap for Big D. He’ll be an easy cut for Jerry Jones.

NEW YORK GIANTS

DE Mathias Kiwanuka
Cap number: $7.45M
Cap savings: $4.825M
Cash savings: $4.825M
Dead money: $2.625M

Kiwanuka is one of the longest-tenured Giants, having been with the team since being picked 32nd overall in the 2006 draft. He started the first 11 games of 2014 opposite Jason Pierre-Paul, but has seen his skills erode as he embarks on his 32nd birthday next month. Kiwi is entering the final year of his contract and is scheduled to have the Giants’ fourth-largest cap hit. The G-Men need to get third-year DE Damontre Moore more snaps and address their pass rush this offseason, especially if they can’t re-sign Pierre-Paul. No matter what happens with JPP, Kiwanuka should be an easy decision.

MLB Jon Beason
Cap number: $6.692M
Cap savings: $2.858M
Cash savings: $5M
Dead money: $3.833M

When the Giants acquired Beason from the Panthers during the 2013 season, he immediately solidified their run defense. The G-Men rewarded Beason with a three-year, $16.8M contract last March. Beason then hurt his foot in June and missed all but four games this past season. The oft-injured linebacker has appeared in just 24-of-64 games the past four years. Beason is guaranteed $900K in 2015, and the Giants don’t have a capable in-house replacement. A pay cut probably makes more sense for both sides. The Giants need to make a decision before Beason is due his $2.2M roster bonus.

C J.D. Walton
Cap number: $3.625M
Cap savings: $3M
Cash savings: $3M
Dead money: $625K

After missing all but three games from 2012-2013, Walton signed on with the Giants and started all 16 games at center. He was destroyed as both a run and pass blocker, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ fourth-worst center out of 41 qualifiers. This will be an easy call for GM Jerry Reese. Second-year G/C Weston Richburg and CFL transplant Brett Jones will likely compete for the starting center spot this summer. Richburg is the heavy favorite.

LB Jameel McClain
Cap number: $3.4M
Cap savings: $3.1M
Cash savings: $3.1M
Dead money: $300K

McClain was signed to provide depth at all three linebacker spots. After MLB Jon Beason went down with his foot injury, McClain was forced to start 14 games for the Giants. He was exposed in the run game and isn’t natural in coverage at 250 pounds. The Giants desperately need to overhaul their linebacker corps. They were shredded in run defense this past season.

DT Cullen Jenkins
Cap number: $2.917M
Cap savings: $2.25M
Cash savings: $2.25M
Dead money: $667K

Jenkins started 11 games next to budding star NT Johnathan Hankins in 2014. He’s a quality pocket-pushing interior lineman, but is entering the final year of his contract and is seeing his cap number rise. With numerous other holes to fill, Jenkins might be able to keep his job. But much like linebacker, the Giants need a lot of help on the defensive line. Jenkins turned 34 last month.

RB Peyton Hillis
Cap number: $945K
Cap savings: $945K
Cash savings: $945K
Dead money: $0

Hillis turned 29 last month and had his 2014 season cut short by a concussion. It was his second in as many seasons. Entering the final year of his contract, Hillis has no guaranteed money left on his deal. He’s averaged just 3.6 YPC over the past four seasons after rushing for 1,177 yards with the Browns in 2010. Andre Williams is the Giants’ big back.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

OLB Trent Cole
Cap number: $11.625M
Cap savings: $8.425M
Cash savings: $10.025M
Dead money: $3.2M

It’s actually a surprise Cole made it this long with the Eagles under coach Chip Kelly. Almost immediately after Kelly was hired and brought in DC Bill Davis, Cole’s name was consistently mentioned as one who wouldn’t fit in the 3-4 scheme. He proved otherwise, registering 14.5 sacks and playing above-average run defense opposite Pro Bowl OLB Connor Barwin the past two years. Still, the Eagles seem to prefer a lankier, more athletic bookend to Barwin. Cole stands at a stocky 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds and have previously been a 4-3 hand-in-the-dirt defensive end. Cole’s cap number is scheduled to be the second-highest on the team behind LeSean McCoy, whom the Eagles may also approach about a pay cut. Cole will have no trouble finding work despite being 32 years old.

CB Cary Williams
Cap number: $8.167M
Cap savings: $6.5M
Cash savings: $6.5M
Dead money: $1.667M

Williams was part of coach Chip Kelly’s first free-agent class, along with fellow starting CB Bradley Fletcher. Fletcher was so bad that he made Williams look like Darrelle Revis, but Williams is expected to join free-agent Fletcher on the street this offseason. That’s according to some members of the Philadelphia media. However, I’m not so sure Williams is a goner. The Eagles already need to find a replacement for Fletcher and a starting safety to pair with FS Malcolm Jenkins. Trying to find three new defensive backfield starters would be a tall task for one offseason. While Williams’ $6.5M salary is a bit large considering his average play, he’s the best corner on the roster with Brandon Boykin only being able to play inside. Williams really steadied his play in the second half of the season.

ILB DeMeco Ryans
Cap number: $6.9M
Cap savings: $6.9M
Cash savings: $6.9M
Dead money: $0

Ryans is way overpaid, but he’s the leader of the defense, which is the one thing that may save him. The Eagles seem to love the soon-to-be 31-year-old. Ryans tore his Achilles’ in Week 9 and was already a pretty average player before the serious injury. Anytime you have a player on the wrong side of 30 and are able to wash your hands clean of him without a dead-money charge, he becomes a candidate for release. The Eagles may give 2014 first-rounder Marcus Smith a look next to ILB Mychal Kendricks if they let go of Ryans. But odds are probably better than even that Ryan keeps his job. Smith is already shaping up as a potential bust.

RG Todd Herremans
Cap number: $5.2M
Cap savings: $2.8M
Cash savings: $4M
Dead money: $2.4M

Herremans will be 33 next season and is coming off a torn biceps. He’s also due a $4M salary in each of the final two years of his contract. Herremans has proven to be a fine run blocker, but he’s been lit up as a pass protector in coach Chip Kelly’s offense. The Eagles have capable in-house replacements in Allen Barbre, David Molk, and Matt Tobin. Herremans could wind up reuniting with old friend Andy Reid in Kansas City. The Chiefs need about three starters on the offensive line.

TE James Casey
Cap number: $4M
Cap savings: $4M
Cash savings: $4M
Dead money: $0

Casey is as good as gone. You don’t pay special teamers $4M to cover kicks and punts. He was initially signed as a sort of Swiss army knife-type player who can line up on the end of the line or in the backfield, but the Eagles then ended up keeping Brent Celek and drafting Zach Ertz.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS

WR Pierre Garcon
Cap number: $9.7M
Cap savings: $5.3M
Cash savings: $7.5M
Dead money: $4.4M

Garcon saw his targets cut nearly in half under coach Jay Gruden from 184 in 2013 with OC Kyle Shanahan to 105 this past season. DeSean Jackson’s addition also played a part in Garcon’s diminished role, but Garcon is no longer the target-hog X receiver that he was under Shanahan. The Redskins will almost certainly ask Garcon to take a pay cut, but if he balks, they’ll have a decision to make. The Redskins are a bad team going nowhere fast, so don’t put it past new GM Scot McCloughan to blow this thing up. Garcon may even want out of the mess in D.C. and try to force McCloughan to release him. Garcon seemed genuinely fed up at the end of the season.

DE Stephen Bowen
Cap number: $8.02M
Cap savings: $5.5M
Cash savings: $5.5M
Dead money: $2.52M

Bowen underwent microfracture surgery in December 2013 and missed the first six weeks of this past season before returning to play 243 defensive snaps. He turns 31 next month and is no longer a starting-caliber player. At the very least, the Redskins will demand a pay cut. But more than likely, this will be an easy call for Washington to release Bowen.

RG Chris Chester
Cap number: $4.8M
Cap savings: $4M
Cash savings: $4M
Dead money: $800K

Chester started all 16 games at right guard this past season, but coach Jay Gruden prefers power-blocking maulers at guard. Chester is the complete opposite at just 305 pounds. The Redskins drafted OG Spencer Long in the third round of last year’s draft. He played just 18 snaps as a rookie, but should be viewed as a long-term starter for the franchise. Chester is entering the final year of his contract and turned 32 last month.

CB Tracy Porter
Cap number: $3.297M
Cap savings: $2.297M
Cash savings: $2.297M
Dead money: $1M

Porter played just 89 defensive snaps before landing on injured reserve with a shoulder injury in Week 12. He was signed as veteran depth. Porter hasn’t been an effective player in a number of years and has one of the longer injury histories in the league.

DE Kedric Golston
Cap number: $1.195M
Cap savings: $1.075M
Cash savings: $1.1M
Dead money: $120K

Golston, 32 in May, is entering the final year of his contract and played just 182 snaps in 2014 while dealing with foot and back injuries. The former sixth-round pick out of Georgia is at or near the end of the line. Washington needs an overhaul at all three levels of its defense.

I would love to cut Bowe and pay Garçon half his salary. He's a damn near perfect fit in Andy's scheme.

Jimmya · 02-11-2015, 01:39 PM

Isn't Garcon getting up there in age?

thabear04 · 02-11-2015, 01:44 PM

Would trade Cooper for Carr.

-King- · 02-11-2015, 02:10 PM

Brandon Carr: The only corner in the league to give up 300+ yards in a game.

If he's cheap, I'd take him. But if not, then I'd rather Gaines or Fleming get the shot at being our #2 corner.

He's a damn near perfect fit in Andy's scheme. __________________ Mike Greenberg@Espngreeny I can’t fathom what it must be like to be a fan of the #Chiefs. Adopt a Chief: Noah Gray

But if not, then I'd rather Gaines or Fleming get the shot at being our #2 corner. __________________ 🏁 Last edited by -King-; 02-11-2015 at 02:29 PM..
