The amount of money they paid Herndon above vet minimum is equal to 0.6% of the salary cap. 

I don't think they'll bat an eyelash as letting that money walk out the door if a younger player is clearly outperforming him. 

It's an interesting situation to watch though. So many guys competing for 4 spots on the roster. 

Herndon has a good chance to be among the four IMO because of his experience playing inside and outside in this scheme  - and the probability of at least 3 of the other guys on the depth chart being young/inexperienced.
