Surprised they didn't just restructure him.

He’s on the last year of his deal, so a restructure wasn’t an option. Unless you mean an extension->restructure, but then the problem is that we have more important players that need extended and not enough money for all of them plus Kwon.

Not surprised by the move, but I could see us trying to bring him back on a cheap "prove it" deal at some point.

Wouldn’t bet on it. But depending on how the market shakes out, we might. 
 

I think we gave all our core ST players the money we would’ve used to bring back Kwon.

Kwon and Sanders were expected. 13 mil in cap space is a no brainer especially with his product of play wasnt that great. I wouldnt be surprised if Lattimore and Ramczyk get extensions to reduce both their caps as well as the newly tagged Williams. Those 3 new deals and another cut or restructure will likely get them at the cap they need to be in order to move forward in the new year

Yep then add in guys like Malcom Brown and Latavius Murray who could be potentially cut and that saves around 8-10 million as well. In other words, we'd be getting by pretty easy given our cap situation going into the offseason in regards to retaining key players. Trey Hendrickson remains one of the bigger question marks for us. Hope we can find a way to bring him back. He has a lot of great football ahead of him.
