NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Several NFL teams face tough roster decisions this offseason with notable cap casualties expected, including veterans and underperforming players across various positions.
- Arizona may cut RB James Conner to save $7.6M, while the complicated Kyler Murray contract limits cap relief options; similarly, teams like the Falcons and Bills are considering moves on WR Darnell Mooney and TE Dawson Knox due to underperformance.
- High cap hits and declining production are prompting teams like the Packers (DT Rashan Gary), Chiefs (OT Jawaan Taylor), and Titans (WR Calvin Ridley) to consider releasing or trading these players to clear significant cap space.
- Some teams, such as the Dolphins with QB Tua Tagovailoa and Browns
