He's not what he was. He's clearly declining. Bailey, Poe and the best pass rusher in the league on the other side to take away attention and he can only get 5 sacks?
He's currently the 2nd highest paid OLB behind Clay Matthews and has a cap number of just under $12 million next year. The production isn't matching the salary.
I'd be in favor of cutting him and then making a new team friendly deal like Terrell Suggs did with the Ravens. That would put him at half of his cap # next year.
I also don't like keeping a first round non-QB pick on the bench another year. Dorsey says he builds through the draft. This time will come in the next 2 years either way. Might as well just do it now why we can get good money back.
