Surprise cuts are usually due to cap space. The biggest cap savings would be (= not equal to cap hit):
- Pickett 6.5 million (we have many talented lineman, but Pickett is too important for this D, so won't happen)
- Williams 4.5 million (we have many talented corners, still Williams is a better outside corner than House, Hayward and Hyde, so I think he is safe)
- J. Jones 3.2 million (NO)
- Raji 2.8 million (NO)
- Kuhn 2.2 million (might happen, but someone needs to replace him. I don't see a replacement for his pass blocking duties, so I think he is safe)
Actually, I think we already made our "surprise" cuts with Bishop and Woodson. And I think Crosby will be cut, but you can hardly say that is a surprise.
