I don't agree, I see a lot of good things from Ellis when watching the D-line play, he is very solid yet unspectacular. I think that might be something a new DC could change.

I'm all for bringing in Osi Umenyiora, that would be a great move.

He really isn't worth the salary he is paid with the current contract... his 2012 cap hit would be $6.26M and that does not reflect his productivity on the field. If Spags feels he can work with Ellis then fine, but I really hope they'll restructure his contract in that case, so that the cap hit would be closer to $3M.

According to the info I have Smith's cap hit for next season is actually $9.75M ($7M base; $2M signing bonus; $750K other bonuses) - and yes it is far too much for his productivity whether it is $8.75M or $9.75M.
