2013: $8,000,000 salary + $2,400,000 remaining bonuses = $10,400,000 total cap hit
2014: $10,000,000 salary + $2,400,000 remaining bonuses = $12,400,000 total cap hit
2015: $11,500,000 salary + $1,000,000 remaining bonuses = $12,500,000 total cap hit

What do the Falcons save if they cut Dunta?
With post June 2nd designation, they save $8,000,000 in 2013, $9,000,000 in 2014 and $12,500,000 in 2015.
Without post June 2nd designation, they save $4,600,000 in 2013, $12,400,000 in 2014 and $12,500,000 in 2015.

It's time to let him go and use the money in future years for someone who is better.

Been saying that he would be gone all season because of his cap number and the money we would save, and that a 1/2 rd CB was a need, even though no one else would realize it.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing him go. I like the guy but not for that price. To go further on this subject I wouldn't mind seeing a house cleaning on the secondary. The only people I see worthy of a spot are McClain and Samuel.

I think Nolan needs to make a statement with this defense by bringing in guys he wants.

Maybe a restructure? I've grown to really like Dunta, and feel that Dunta, Asante, and McClain is an awesome combo. Do you guys think McClain could take over as a starter when these guys leave.

I still think we should bring Grimey back.

I think cutting Dunta and re-signing Grimes is the best way to go about it

Cut Dunta, resign Grimes, spend a mid round pick on a high ceiling player

I'll miss him and his swag, but if this is true then we need to let him go and use the money to resign Moore and Grimes. I just hope Grimes doesn't ask for a ridiculous contract... I really will miss Dunta though, I like him a lot.
