Arrington would’ve been a pretty shock if that had happened in the middle of training camp, wouldn’t he? As always this is kind of hard to project, but I’ll throw Sebastian Vollmer out there as he’s the fourth-highest salary on the team and there are two promising guys (Cannon, who they just extended, and Fleming) in back of him. The Pats would still take a $5million cap hit if they cut him so that could be a deterrent, but he seems to fit the mold of a shocking starter cut that they have the depth to replace.
Funny thing is they had no depth to replace Mankins last year and that still didn’t stop them. I’m just not sure who else it could be unless you look at the second tier of guys like Chris Jones, Sealver Siliga, maybe Dane Fletcher/Brandon Spikes. Really any of the cornerbacks could get axed outside of Butler and I wouldn’t be shocked.
