If they cut him, that means paying this year's as well as next year's salaries, eating the cap hits. One would think they'd try to get -something- for him. A trade comes to mind. But they're talking about cutting him outright. That's a powerful statement.
Yeah, if he's cut, he'll be in someone's camp in no time. But again, I'm shocked they're even considering a cut. A trade (even for nothing, where another team eats the cap hit) would make a lot more sense. So I'm kinda shocked. They must be really down on him.
