No turning back now, these 3 cuts the past 2 days make it pretty clear that there's little to no room for sentiment in building this team.

I disagree. Ac is a great guy and a great role model for the younger players as everyone agrees.
But as a player, he is a bit of a one trick pony. He was a great pass rusher in the 4-3, but he got used in the run game. I used to get frustrated as hell with him even in the 4-3. He is not a great instinctive player, which is why he failed as a 3-4 LB, because 3-4 Lb's have to be good at both run and pass.
Just put him on the edge on passing downs. The high sack numbers got him noticed but that is a bit misleading, because the rest of his game was substandard.
