Dareus is the easiest cut to make with that contract.

If he's willing to restructure I'd love to keep him.

I think Lee and Swaim are gone.

Also: Our run D hasn't been great this year, so has Dareus really had that great of an impact?
And I don't think he elevates the play of Campbell or the players around him much.

Dude is talented but not 22 mil talented.

a. he played with one arm the first 3 or 4 games he was back from injury, and then tore the groin/abdomen muscle. 
He made a difference vs the run despite that and would have made more if healthy. 

b. He elevates guys around him because he's a focus of double teams and he ties them up effectively

I'm not saying the dude was trash or not good. 
Just not worth the price tag.
If he's willing to restructure I'd want him because he will most certainly be better than a rookie and he did have a marked improvement once the trade was made for him in 2017.


Campbell and Yan and Allen still perform well post Dareus IR and our LBers were liabilities pre Dareus IR.
And the injury concerns don't exactly favor the idea of keeping him around at that price either
