Kirk becomes a $7.8m dead cap hit but a $16.5m cap saving.

Scherff is a $4m dead cap with $9.9m cap saving

Hamilton is $3.5m dead cap and $7.3m cap saving.

It's always difficult looking at post June 1st savings as it's after FA and draft but there is some options there.

These are all interesting options as you say. Of these 3 players, I'd let go of Scherff first as his best days are way in the past. I'd keep Hamilton since his play has improved as of late and he can still remain part of the rotation at DT. Kirk is a tough decision since, when healthy, he is a very effective receiver whom Lawrence trusts. I'd keep him one more season and release him in 2026 to be replaced by Parker Washington. This team has too many needs to add receiver to the list in 2025. A group of Thomas, Kirk, Washington and Engram (plays like a WR) would be more than adequate in 2025. They are likely stuck with Gabe Davis for another season, but expectations for him are very low. The decision to replace Ridley for Davis was another horrible one by Baalke. Ridley has caught 29 passes the past 5 weeks averaging about 16 YPC. Not saying I would have paid him what the Titans did, but he may have remained in Jax. if offered more by the Jaguars.
