2 Akers, David PK 2013 $3,606,667
98 Haralson, Parys OLB 2013 $2,870,000
Pretty clear Haralson will be cut, My surprise cut/trade may be Lee. Yep pretty much the best punter in the league but 4 million is pretty expensive. I think that Rodgers gets burned an awful lot for the money he makes. Goodwin is pretty expensive. I truely believe that we could cut this entire list and not see much drop in play.the above list is close to 48 million. There will be dead space money involved, but we could be clear cap space for signing key important long term players such as Bowman, A. Davis, and Mikey Iupati.
As far as contract and poor play, I believe it's Rodgers and Whitner. Pretty big money for those two.
Agree on Rogers. Makes too much for what he has done. Didn't think he played all that well Thursday.
Happy to part with Crab. Since day 1 was just happy to be a millionaire. No heart. Probably not loved by Harbaugh either.
