10 NFL Veterans Who Could Be on the Roster Bubble
With rookies getting up to speed, these 10 veterans are at risk of their roster stock crashing.

Shaun Hill, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Shaun Hill currently occupies the Minnesota Vikings’ backup quarterback spot at no meager cost of $3.25 million against the salary cap for the 2016 season. This isn’t oodles of money, considering that the recent signings of Brock Osweiler ($12 million cap hit), Robert Griffin III ($5.05 million cap hit), and Chase Daniel ($5 million cap hit) have made him just the 33rd-highest paid veteran quarterback in the NFL.

That said, he’s produced a meager 0.04 Passing NEP per drop back (the league average for quarterbacks was 0.11 in 2015) across his 271 drop backs, which makes him a tempting roster cut for any general manager in favor of salary cap austerity. With second-year passer Taylor Heinicke and rookie Joel Stave pushing him in camp and no dead money in his contract, Hill’s roster spot is no guarantee.

Cut Savings: $3.25 million
