Vinny tips his hand on the final 53

[BigHairedAristocrat]

On ESPN980, theyre speculating Cartwright and/or ARE will be the surprise veteran cut(s) Vinny and Zorn said may be made.

ARE isnt cuttable until next offseason from a cap perspective (about 4M then), but he's certainly not cuttable now. Besides, it wouldnt even make sense to cut him from a playing perspective, as there arent really any other receivers battling for the 5th WR spot with Mitchell.

Cartwright, on the other hand, makes some sense. My bold prediction is that he is cut and Mason AND Dorsey/Aldridge make the roster in his place, OR Aldrige makes the roster and we go with 10 OL instead of 9, with (E) Williams making the squad as the 10th OL and backup center. Yes, I know montgommery is a backup C/G but I think the skins want to keep two guys who can play center on our roster so they can compete to replace Rabach next year.

Did they really say ARE was a roster cut possibility? How do some of these people even have jobs? As you pointed out it's not at all possible because of the salary cap ramifications so why would they even say it?

We cut Jason Taylor didn't we and took a cap hit? Why not ARE?

Do you really need an answer to this question?

Have Vinny answer that question he's the one that does the cuts, not me.

We had the space to cut Taylor, but we don't have much space left and the cap hit for ARE would be huge this year. It's just not possible.

The answer is that we can't afford it. It isn't happening. It's not even financially possible. I guess it is possible if we also cut 2 or 3 other guys that count only a base salary against the cap.

I think he's being sarcastic. [EDIT].... Nevermind. Lol
