Rumor out there is AR wants a new contract. I'm guessing this is his way of "forcing" a trade, knowing the GB is $28Mil over the cap, already. Indy & NE have $50Mil + cap space and teams ready to "win now" and both are in the AFC. If AR really is done in GB I could see those 2 teams as trade partners. This would create $31.5Mil dead money on the cap but also offer $5.5Mil cap savings.
That would still leave GB $23Mil over the cap, and logical cap savings could be cutting:
Preston Smith - $8Mil dead cap, $8Mil cap savings
Adrian Amos - $6Mil dead cap, $4.3Mil cap savings
Dean Lowry - $3Mil dead cap, $3.3Mil cap savings
Rick Wagner - $1.75Mil dead cap, $4.25Mil cap savings
Christian Kirksey - $2Mil dead cap, $5.6Mil cap savings
Possibly Mason Crosby - $2Mil dead cap, $2.5Mil cap savings
This would be dynamiting the roster but without AR I would expect some dark years ahead, anyway. Draft and develop with whatever leadership is left in the locker room.
Gone: Linsley, A. Jones, J. Williams, Lewis, King, Austin, Ervin, Harrison, Winn, Funchess.
Keep (if cheap): Lancaster, Redmond, Sullivan, Lazard, Tonyan, Greene & Nijman
