Figured this was coming. I'm hoping they are opening up cap space to sign an upper tier pass rusher. Brown can be replaced in the draft or with Kenny Stills.

This I think this is Feliciano or Williams money.

I mean they'd still have to sign Kenny Stills.

I'm not optimistic about Williams at this point. Personally I think he should be a priority. But sounds like Beane is ready to move ahead with Ford at RT, and maybe sign a depth guy like Rick Wagner plus another draft pick. If they're letting Williams test the market 90% of the time that means the player is gone.

Probably the right decision. Thanks for 2019 JB.

Damn going to miss him. He was hobbled by injuries most of the season. Would of loved to see him at 100% with Diggs next year. Oh well we have a nice trio with Diggs, Beasely & Davis

We signed him to the practice squad, I'm sure he will be given an offer and given a chance to compete. I still want them to draft somebody with speed.

So with these cuts and assuming a $182.5 million cap, what's the current cap situation?

[Clyde Smith]

15.4 mill saved with Jefferson and Smoke's release.

That was for last season he's not on the roster now.

[ExWNYer]

Not surprising in the least. He offered the biggest cap savings.

Vernon Butler also restructured, just reported by Ian Rapoport, so we'll see what that does for us.

Dam, figured this was coming but still saddens me to think he won’t be back. He and Cole came hear and help start the turnaround. Injuries definitely have curtailed his career! Will root for him and hope he lands somewhere beneficial to his skill set!

[NewEra]

Sad to see ya go Smoke.  Thanks for buying in and giving it your all.  Class act and I’ll miss your interviews. 
 

Had to be done.  It’s a numbers game and his number didn’t match his production in this offense now that we have Diggs

North of 17 mill

He was pretty big in Allen's development. Really happy with his 2 years here

Jefferson actually does have a dead cap hit of 1.5 million according to Spotrac. But the savings still amount to 6.5 million given that he had an $8 million cap number.
