You continually prove that you're dumb as ****.
Kudos.

I'm not saying you're wrong here because you're not. But it is entirely possible that speaks could be beat out for a roster spot.
And I also present a recent case of giving up on a high(ish) pick much quicker than year 3.
Keivarae Russell was cut preseason of his rookie year just after signing a $839,598 signing bonus as the 74th overall pick in 2016 by the chiefs. Instead they kept a 4th rounder and a 6th rounder in that same draft over him.
Cutting speaks would save the chiefs about 400k and the dead cap would only be about 400k more than what they had invested in russell.
