Re: D Hop released
Because they are in 100% rebuild mode. There is no reason to keep him on the team, and get the cap hit out of the way ASAP. With two first round picks in 2024, their own and Houston, they could easily both be in the top 5.
Would anyone be surprised if they cut Murray loose after 2024 season? Draft the #1 QB in a 2024 class that is widely seen as much better than 2023??
Murray’s last year of guaranteed salary is 2024....$35M. They cut him loose (or trade him to some stupid team) and the cap savings for 2025 is a hopping $33M.
Overthecap provides nominal cap pace projections for next five years based on current contracts. Even with Murray’s huge cap hit, they are projected to be under the cap in 2024 by $51M....in 2025 under the cap by $161M.
This ditching of Holpkns now (on the wrong side of 30) is a no-brainer. The QB position will probably not be settled for some time.
