00:00Got this article be 21 notable cut candidates

00:08Salary cap cuts

00:10Debo top of the list Debo Samuel I can see that

00:15Yeah, man, I you know, it saves them five mil against the cap. It's not a ton

00:21Maybe they get I think they're still gonna try to get once they paid. Are you yeah, it was over for Debo

00:27And they still got a paid Brock. Yeah

00:30I can see it though. I think

00:33Look when you somebody asks you

00:36To trade them and you say yes

00:40Eventually that dude's probably not gonna be on your team unless you're gonna do a new contract likely. Yeah

00:46So Debo I see this one I

00:49categorically disagree with

00:53Marshall and Lattimore

00:55Marshall Lattimore is a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback

00:57But those four Pro Bowl seasons all came between 2017 and 21 since 22

01:01He's missed 25 games with a variety of injuries

01:04Washington traded for him at the 24 deadline sending a package of picks

01:07but only getting two regular season games and three playoff contests out of him and

01:12Notably, he was awful in the postseason earning a horrific

01:1529.6 coverage grade from PFF and allowing 10 catches were 172 and a 136 passer rating on 14 target

01:22With a release his entire 18 million cap

01:25It would become savings in 25 and while the commanders are in superb shape protect to be

01:29Projected to be 75 million under the cap

01:32They might rather spend those millions elsewhere as they seek to build around Jaden Daniels to become a lasting powerhouse in the NFC

01:38It would be a bit surprising to trade for a player of Lattimore's career caliber and then cut him a few months later

01:44but it might take too much sense given all the variables I

01:48I

01:51Categorically disagree. I don't I don't see that happening like that

01:55But you know

01:56Adam Peters was asked about a lot of more at the season wrap-up presser and said we can't wait to have him back

02:03Have him in our system. Get him healthy get him to know exactly how we run our defense like I

02:10I

02:11Get it's easy to look at a team's

02:15Salary cap on spot rack or over the cap and then make it up

02:19Well, dude, it's not like a hard game

02:22If you just look at who has guaranteed money and who would create a cap cap savings

02:28It's not hard content to create and if you look at Lattimore

02:31He's got an 18 million cap number with no dead money and you can really release them all they just traded for him. I

02:39Just I don't I just don't see that happening

02:43This team talks about building through the draft and I don't think giving up picks and

02:48Reworking the deal and all that to get it done. I just I don't see that happening whatsoever

02:52I don't see really any outright releases with these guys

02:56I am very curious what if anything happens with Allen's contract

03:01It's a 23. It's a 22 million dollar cap hit no guarantees on there. You could clear a bunch of cash. I

03:09Don't think though

03:11Frankly with John that they're looking to do a release or anything. Mm-hmm

03:16Maybe try to rework the deal but dude, even if you just keep them and pay him at that rate

03:25Compared to the market

03:28John was hurt most last season. It wasn't his best wasn't Payne's best but compared to the market, you know

03:34There's gonna be multiple players making 30 mil next year
