I don't believe Schobert's trade was purely a salary cap dump. I think the new coaching staff reviewed the tape from last year and saw issues in his play, likely in the run game where they have been targeting improvement. Wilson was brought in as a thumping veteran with experience, and was determined to be outplaying him. The staff has been impressed also with the developing 23 year old Quarterman, also known as a thumper and in a rookie deal. Letting Schobert go and picking up whatever draft compensation could be had makes sense, and the cap savings, although not needed or imperative, is the icing on the decision.
