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.
