Why would any team willingly take Rhodes with his cap hit? I haven’t looked at what his dead cap would be if we cut him but it might be the best option this spring.
Because there are teams in this league where he would still be the best DB on their team, there were rumors that his name came up in trade discussions this year already, so obviously not everyone thinks he's done. We just have quite a bit higher standards here these days for DBs since we have a DB guru for a head coach.
On another note, check out this stat from last night.
Kirk Cousins on 3rd down, completed 7 of 9 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.
He made the big plays when the moment was big last night.
Yes, he didn't have any deep ball connections, but that wasn't even in the game plan, so no concern there. The game plan was absolutely brilliantly conceived and executed.
As bad as the play calling was in KC, it was great in Big D.
Also, if we had to lose 1 between Dallas and KC, at least KC won't hurt us in tie breaker scenarios, so we ultimately won the more important of the two.
