WR Kenny Stills – $1.75M in dead cap
Stills was sent to Houston along with Laremy Tunsil. Given the surprising rise of WR Preston Williams last season to play outside, Stills and his 2020 dead cap is a casualty worth taking in order to continue getting this team younger and better aligned to win in their new-look offense. Stills is a speedy receiver but he hasn’t been overly dynamic as a yards-after-catch threat — so this loss doesn’t hurt the team too bad.
Fortunately, neither does his cap penalty.
