2015 Forum Mock: Cut Thread

[Mt. Crushmore]

Please post all cuts, RFA/ERFA re-signing and franchise tag placement in this thread. If they aren't posted in here, they don't count. When posting please use the following format to make my life WAY easier:

 

Position, Player, stars saved

Example: TE Marcedes Lewis -- 8.5 stars

When figuring out how much you save, it is Cap Hit-Dead Money = Stars Saved. 

Round everything to the nearest 0.5 stars

 

Please don't edit posts.  If you have another move to make, use another post.
