[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 827515"] Some thoughts about what happens if you do not have that PUP/IR reserve: Let's say somebody goes to IR sometime before the start of the season with return being questionable or ruled out for the year as with Nelson's ACL, or DuJuan Harris' ACL who we recall was McCarthy's intended starting RB. We could add Jake Ryan, a loss that Pettine struggled (and failed) to replace. Then there are also replacements needed in season requiring partial year replacements and there always seem to be several, some critical losses. Taking the example of a full year replacement, if there is no PUP/IR reserve then a guy has to be cut who yields a minimum of $1 mil in cap savings, $500,000 for the IR replacement at the rookie minimum plus $500,000 for a rookie minumum replacement of the guy you just cut. There are not a whole lot of candidates to pick up that cap space. Spriggs perhaps with $1 mil in savings. That assumes an OT is drafted who can actually step in and play. Williams perhaps with a larger number, though that consideration is also dependent on what happens in the draft. It's hard to see an about face on Graham or a Daniels cut. If Gutekunst is true to his word, "it is always win now", I don't think he'd settle for a guy off the practice squad to replace a Nelson-like loss just as Thompson did not in bringing back James Jones. If Gutekunst wants to go the street or the waiver wire for a vet replacement, he's going to need more than $1 mil in savings from a cut. And that is just for one full year equivalent. Since this is not a roster with a lot of depth, $2 mil in reserve is a bare minimum and not likely to be enough as the roster stands now. Since Gutekunst doesn't know what he'll get in the draft any more than we do, there is no reason to think he will not hold a reserve more than that $2 mil amount until the draft is concluded where a cut such as Williams might be possible to increase that buffer. Or perhaps he won't cut any of the guys with cap savings in which case he will have less than $5 mil to spend post-draft where more than $2 mil in PUP/IR reserve would be pruduent. [/QUOTE]
