You cut him, and it isn't like they can just spend that money somewhere else. He has guaranteed money. Lots of dead money if they cut him. Nope, very little dead cap money if they would have cut him. Hmm, I could be mistaken. Still need someone to rush the passer, though. Free agent options were pretty bad this year, and obviously they struck out on their play for Mack. Why they aren't targeting the pass rush high in the draft is anyone's guess.
