Lemar Marshall released for Randall Godfrey??

[Schneed10]

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Marshall was released in part to help clear cap room for a contract extension to Chris Cooley.

It seems like we'd hear something about a Cooley contract extension if talks were getting close. So there's no reason to believe an extension is imminent.

Nonetheless, Marshall's release does clear $1 million in cap space, and assuming Godfrey is making the vet minimum, this move would represent a net increase in our cap space.

I don't want to read much into it at this point, other than to say it's unlike the Skins to leave cap room on the table.
