Released Cuillver

[deanpet21]

im listening to SM right now.

 

[HammerDown]

Should be on the open market for less than 48 hours.

 

[gkekoa]

A bit surprised but OK.

 

[deanpet21]

Its b/c of the Fuller pick. Shark how much do we save? 6 or 8 mil?

 

[Caliskinsfan]

I admire the way Scot talked about Cully and handled the release. Had a personal conversation with him and there remains personal respect.

At the end of the day, it's business and because Scot is respectful with players and consistent in his approach to the roster, everyone gets it.

 

[Burnsie]

Do we know if it is directly related to the Fuller pick? I thought we could still fit him under the cap and sign all of the other draft picks, etc.

Unless they wanted to make a trade or pick someone else up and need the money.

 

[deanpet21]

what else did he say. my computer froze.

 

[Sharkinva]

We save $8 million. And yep its a business move.

Im not going to question it, as apparently they feel we have enough depth. But it makes sense as we didnt ned to be waiting on two knee rehabs.

I doubt it, because Scot always says Garçon is a Redskin, but I ask the question again, would letting Culliver go as well as finding a taker for Garçon create enough space to chase a trade for Wilkerson?

Thanks, maybe we extend Reed or KC right now with the savings. The Fuller pick pushed it over the top. Now its Norman, Breeland, Fuller, Fla kid, and Toler.

 

[kbso83432]

I liked the idea of having all three corners going into the season. I'm a little disappointed but on the bright side it probably speaks to where Fuller is from a health standpoint.

 

[deanpet21]

The safeties become interesting. My guess right now is Nacho, Burton, Hall, Cravens, and Blackmon. IF we keep 5.

 

[martinez]

Not happy about it but it was necessary

 

[gkekoa]

I think the move was made for future contracts but who knows...maybe Wilkerson is in play.

I don't think he is in play the money and compensation to get him would be way too high.

That would be quite a master plan if true

 

[martinez]

Similar to when he brought in Justin smith, sort of

 

[Caliskinsfan]

 

[redskinsfan]

Shark, don't forget about Culliver's prorate, which is $3.75M. The net savings is $5.5M this year, but, more importantly, we cleared $8M off of next year's cap.

 

[deanpet21]

The door is closed. He is 27 years old. CB needy teams will pay him even after rehabbing the ACL.
