Plus 4.1M/yr for Sproles (even if they cut sproles, its a cap hit of $3.5M).
So, replace Shady/Sproles (~$15M) with Murray/Mathews/dead cap Sproles (~$14.9M) or Murray/Mathews/Roster spot Sproles ($15.6M).
For all those saying the Shady trade was about cap space ... I beg to differ.

I would rather have
three good diverse (runners & pass catchers) Rb's than
one really expensive one that has a history of concussions. Your single $15M Rb gets another concussion and your team is screwed. There is an advantage to numbers and depth. Especially with how much CK wants to run the ball.
