I don’t get that move... because, when Bince was playing, I noticed a significant difference in the feel of the game.
Anyway, I’d cut Barron and use that money to re-sign someone else (whose name rhymes with Mott). Same goes for Matakavich; I’d cut him and go with a rookie.
That said, my guess is that our opening-day starters are Bush & Barron, with Bince and UGIII as the backups... with Matakavich (vet minimum) beating out a rookie, because Red plays on special teams.
