Can this be done?

I still say we need to sign a run stuffing end or a solid DT and absolutely still need an experienced OLB

Buzbee has minimal effect, only $ 370K this year. Daniels is a larger number, about $ 2.7M in salary. Either way, I don't believe you can release a player who is injured until the off-season, or if you do you still are liable for their salary and cap #.

The cap/contract folks would need to confirm this.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but if Madden is right then Daniels salary will not count against the cap since the team has him on IR. And on top of that you can't release a player who is injured, the Shaun Alexander saga this past offseason proved that.
