They can save a couple million but it depends on roster construction. Right now there is no one even close to replacing him talent wise. They missed out on all the corners from this last class, no going back but that was a big mistake. Maybe they can revamp the position in one offseason but if they don’t, what do you gain besides a couple million in cap savings by releasing him?
Their important players are all still pretty young so their window to win is pretty flexible right now. Maybe it’s one step back to take two steps forward but I don’t think it makes sense to cut first and ask questions later.
