I'm not so sure about asking Sendejo or Rudolph to take a cut.  
If you are asking a player to take a pay cut, you need to be ready to cut him if he says no. You present a binary choice: take a pay cut or get cut. If you are not prepared to cut the player, don't ask him to take a pay cut. Word will get out. 
Restructure is different. That is not a pay cut and often results in more money up front.
Murray should be a pay cut or get cut. Not sure what BRob makes, but he is probably in the same boat as Murray. I would ask BRob to retire and join the coaching staff. I don't know what Wright makes but I think he has already taken cuts.
Sorry but that makes no sense.

First off, he is on a very cheap deal in its last year.  Second, he is a key part of the D.  Watch him move around, create opportunities for other.  He is such a leader for this team in so many unselfish ways.  You want more of those guys, not less.

I'll start by saying I like Brian Robison a lot and do not underestimate what he does for the team. That's why I would like to keep him in some capacity. He will count about $3.5M against the cap and has $1.25M in dead money. So he would not free up a ton of cap space, but it may be $2M we need.  We also have Weatherly, Bower, Odenigbo, and draft picks.
Cutting Murray frees up about $5M; Sendejo, $3.5M (if signing Mathieu); and Wright, $2.6M.  There is nowhere else to cut unless you are cutting Rudolph. But that seems crazy when you just signed Cousins.
Just saying, for his value to the defense, 2 mil savings doesn't add up IMO.

You need to see from the younger guys aswell though. Front of the jersey is all ways more important then the back of the jersey. 

I don't want to see him go, but I understand if it happens.

Brian has made it pretty clear what his post playing career will be.  He will not be going into coaching anytime soon IMO.  He has his fishing and his family that will keep him occupied.
