Just looked it up, they would take a cap hit of about 2 million in 2018 if they cut him so they actually aren't tied to him at all after the 2017 season
They are in one of the worst divisions in football and last year their defense and ST outscored their offense.
You make a fair point however it was a hot take on my part.
Their lack of depth at WR and complete mismanagement of both offensive line and QB position are unforgivable. This game shouldn't even be close with the way the Bungles are playing.
