Chaisson will only turn 24 years old on July 25th. We are weak at Pass Rush, so it'd be incredibly stupid to cut a young Pass Rusher, have to eat $2m in dead cap space and still pay him to not be on the roster.

Maybe Chaisson turns the corner this year, or maybe he doesn't, but it'd be dumb to make a weak position group even weaker, all while paying somebody who isn't here. You let him play out his final contract year and see what happens.

You're making a big assumption that the team couldn't be better with someone else in his place.

Chaisson may not have lived up to his draft position, but he still is best backup at his position on this roster.

Even if they found a better player, there are still players below him in ability that would be cut first. The cuts would start with the bottom back up players and move up. We would have to find enough talented players to push him completely off the depth chart before he would be cut. The chances of finding enough talented players to do that at an extremely sought after position between now and the beginning of the season are slim to none.
