It would be cheaper to keep Cushing than it would be to cut him until after the 2015 season.

Andre would be significantly cheaper to cut than to keep. The twist is that when he was out of camp this summer McNair assured Andre that he wouldn’t be cut after the season. It's possible that at this point Andre would let that slide if it meant he could catch on with a team that has a better chance of winning.
