Over the cap and spoctrac have our available cap at 5M with Collins still on the books.

LB Jordan Hicks might be worth a look if we dont go big splash Bobby Wagner.

Yeah, I think Hicks would be a good signing at MLB.

Cutting Collins post June 1st pretty much covers all of the rookie contracts, practice squad and in season funds, so makes some sense to designate him to be cut then

Cut pre June 1 = 8.8 cap added, eat 6.8 dead

Cut post June 1 = 11.8 cap added, eat 3.8 dead this year, eat 3.8 next year

Im guess hes one of our 2 allowed post june cuts, we have to carry his full cap hit of 15.7M until June 2, when we get 11.8 in added cap.

Im guessing we can negotiate now as if we will have 11.8 added cap once the league year starts June 2?

Seems like the best strategy is to designate him a post June 1 and spread it over the following year to help get the cap we need to now.

Have we not formally actually released Collins?
