They think they can get someone else in there to do the same thing for a smaller contract. I was pointing out that this doesn't make him a cap casualty because they aren't up against it. It's just that they don't think he's worth as much to the team as his contract shows.

Doom played 1037 snaps, Wolfe played 1007 snaps.
I just don't understand why he would be worth $14 million last year, but not worth $12 million this year. To effectively replace him, I think they would need to spend more resources than it would be worth. Freeney would be a big downgrade, unless they are changing the scheme to hide his weaknesses. In which case, the whole defense will probably suffer.
