Playoffs or damaging draft pick

Well Danno could we not have had a chance for A Samuel. More specifically I would have liked to see Harper, Smith, and our DT from USC (He's made so little impact I forget his name Brain Freeze) traded or released and take a shot with someone else. Know its not easy but if they would have done this early we may have had a chance to free up more money. Loomis does really well but I think it was time to let these guys go.

The cap hit cutting those three alone would have prevented us from signing Brees and Grubbs, and we'd still need another starting DT, DE and SS.

This year it was much cheaper to keep 'em. Next year, not so much. And Harper has probably been our best DB this year, which I guess isn't saying much I know, but Harper has been our least disappointing DB.
