Not even all that much cap space saved. That is the worst part. Rmasey had no guaranteed money left after this season. Why not just hold on 1 more year, and cut them after? Not like we got notable assets back anyway by moving on early?
Same with Floyd. Timing of the cut made no sense.
If anything, with a weak NFC, why not keep the gang together for one more year, see what we look like with hopefully a healthy OL and some free agency/draft additions, and re-assess at the trade deadline, if we want to be buyers or sellers?
Snead is so obsessed with trying to be "ahead of the curve". First to use the "F them picks" model. Now I am sure he wants credit for being "quick to recognize mistakes and move on" and making that his new mantra. How about you take some time to think things through before acting, for once, and make less mistakes in the first place?
