He could be a candidate to be released during training camp. Cutting him would save us $545,000 on this year's (2005) cap. Next year (2006), he would count $1.33 million against our cap in dead money if we did cut him. He's actually scheduled to count $1.66 against the 2006 cap as it is, so cutting him in the next month would actually save us $0.33 million in 2006 as well. Of course, we'd have to pay someone to replace him, which would basically wash out on the 2006 cap to a net effect of zero.

Basically, he could be cut during camp to create cap room for this year, while not really hurting or helping the cap much in 2006. I think he's a prime candidate for the axe, especially now that Barrow has gotten his knee issues cleared up.

But I think Gibbs will give him a fair shot. If he beats out Dyson or one of the other receivers for the 6th slot, then Gibbs will keep him fair and square.

I think the definites at WR are:
Moss
Jacobs
Patten
Thrash
A Brown

It's that 6th spot that's up for grabs.
