No , no . We achieved peak crazy in the early seasons of LOST , when everyone actually thought the showrunners had a plan and were trying to figure out whether the show was actually scifi , fantasy , or theology . Makes me kinda sad there weren ' t internet forums back when TWIN PEAKS was on . <| sep |> True , but at least you will lose your virginity . <| sep |> I see no real upside in cutting Byrd . He isn ' t the stud the team thought they were getting , but that money is gone now . Cutting him means more dead money , AND you have to pay his replacement . At this point in his career he ' s a decent player and there isn ' t enough financial incentive to drop him . That changes in 2018 . If we cut him in 2017 we have $ 8 million in dead money and save $ 3 . 7 million in cap space less whatever we pay his replacement but in 2018 dead money drops to $ 4 . 6 million and cap savings jump up to $ 7 . 6 million . So either he restructures or he ' s gone next offseason . I think they will probably ask him to take a pay cut this offseason since he really isn ' t playing to his contract .
