Our effective cap number is a shade over $9.7 Million.

Cutting Ryan pushes that to $27 Million, but trading him gets you to 39,, and $39 Million lets you resign Yannick Ngakoue, Parris Campbell, EJ Speed, Ashton Dulin, Chase McLaughlin, and Tyquan Lewis without having to restructure the contracts of guys like Nelson, Smith, and Kelly.

Now,, if Those guys were performing at a high level, you’d think nothing of reworking their contracts and pushing a big chunk of cap money into the future. But, if you end up cutting one or more of them after another disappointing season, that $30 Million becomes dead money, and dead money is a salary cap albatross that Chris Ballard treats like the plague.
Why would we re-sign Ngakoue?
