Roster Moves to save Money

Saint by the Bay said

David Thomas should be released as well. An aging injury prone TE at 2.2 million is a luxury we can't afford. Releasing him saves about 1.7 milllion.

Will Herring has a cap figure of 1.9 million and releasing him saves 1.6 against the cap.

PT is 2.5 and 2.1 of it is salary. I want him here but we can convert that salary to bonus and save a lot against the cap.

We have a lot of no brainer moves we can make to free up a lot of money.

Thomas has value to us, but I would approach him about a pay cut. If he is not agreeable, I would say we would have to part ways with him. I am surprised Herring is still here. That is the biggest no brainer of all. PT worries me. I still think he is our best all around RB. However, with the staff's apparent love of Ingram, I can see them trading him for a conditional pick just to slice his salary. I sure hope not. Vilma makes way too much and I do not see him fitting in the the 3-4. We could save nearly $6 million by releasing him. As much as I like Vilma, he simply is not worth the money at this stage of his career. The same holds true for Smith.
