It already was a need for next year. Shady and that 9 mil cap hit will be gone resulting in 2.5 mil dead cap and 6.5 cap savings.
Exactly. Going into this year with that o line, no wrs, a rookie QB, this is pretty much what I expected. Paying McCoy 9 mil, highest of any rb in the league, was completely pointless this year but they probably couldn t have traded that contract if they had wanted to.
