[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 668891, member: 9780"] Is Mathews being cut an option? There are a lot of big contributors up for contract in 2017. Random scenario. Fast forward to next year, because this is a superbowl year... But in 2017 we dont have Peppers, Perry, Datone. But more concerning, and IMO a higher priority to rebuild is the fact Sitton, Lang, and Bahk are FAs... Add Lacy to that list... Also Hyde, Tretter, and new TE Cook will need consideration. That is a very expensive list... a substantial part of our core.... So Fast forward to 2017. If we trade Mathews who is still at the top of his game IMO. Not only do we gain 11 mil a year in 17 and 18 with only 4.1mil dead cap in 17 and none in 18. Allowing us to keep younger , more affordable contributors like Lacy, Perry, or Datone.... Besides that, Im sure with 2 years left on his reasonable deal. Mathews would net us AT LEAST a mid-to high 1st round pick... That would justify the 4mil in dead cap space. plus some. Thoughts?
