Joseph, Zuttah, and Koenen. Nicks pending more medical information and physical...perhaps a buyout for him to retire. Anyone saying Revis is short bus special.
Joseph and Koenen. If Goldson has a repeat of how he played this year, he should be gone next year too.
Joseph and Koenen can go. Sign McCoy to an extension. Restructure Penn and possibly restructure Revis.

Im curious as to how you would want to restructure him? Keeping in mind that it has to make sense for him as well.

He'll have 5 years and 80 Mill left. I'd turn 25 - 30 million into a signing bonus. That way he only counts 10-11 Mill against the cap in the following years.

A signing bonus gets spread out throughout the life of the deal. So by doing that, you would make him count against our cap for the remaining 5 years even if we decide to cut him in years 3-4-5.

The whole point these days is NOT to give large signing bonuses. That way they don't result in large amounts of pro-rated dead money and can be released at any time.
I keep seeing Revis on these lists. So, who do we sign or draft that would give us better value both in cap impact and on the field?

He has no guaranteed money right now. So if you offered him lesser money but guaranteed, or partially guaranteed, I think he would go for that. That may be the plan, after seeing he is healthy and looks to be just as good as advertised.And Nicks is uncuttable.
Don't cut anyone. Until you have a replacement. Redo their deals as necessary.JMHO

Makes perfect sense on the surface. But them re-doing Nicks deal awhile back, basically screwed them for being able to release him now.
Cut Revis- Try to sign Tillman or Rogers-Cromartie.Cut Joseph- 6 million cap savings, Sign a FA or draft a GCut Penn- 7.4 million cap savings, Sign Brandon Alberts in FA
I had no idea that Zuttah was making so much. He's a goner for sure. We can't have 18 million tied up in an underperforming interior oline.
Zuttah, Goldshon, and Penn are definitely cut candidates for 2015. If the Bucs cut Joseph and Nicks in 2014 it is hard to replace both starting guards and replace Zuttah/Penn in one off season. Meredith and Larsen are 2014 unrestricted free agents and Carimi is overpaid so that leaves the Bucs with no starters on the interior or backups.
