Whitner is making a fair amount of money, but I agree I would not release him just to release him. This is a great site that has all NFL salaries.

Whitner is not cheap, though, at 3.75 million. We need to get Justin to re-structure (7.5 million this year), and it would be great if Vernon would, also (6--but I believe he has done that once, though I may be wrong). Carlos Rodgers is pricey (5.5), especially considering his play went down. We will get 7 million back when we trade/release Alex. And Akers is on the books for 3. We really need to re-structure Crab now in order to save money in the future. We should also start thinking about when to extend Kap and Aldon. My guess is after this coming year. If Kap plays like he did this year, he will command a king's ransom if he ever hits FA, and ditto Aldon. So far, at least, Baalke has been good about extending players before they got to their contract year. Goldson is the only one I can think of who got to the point where the tag was going to be necessary. He locked up PW, Vernon, and Bowman in advance. Frank, too, and he is someone we should look to restructure if possible.
