6 Mill cap hit and we'd save 4 million by releasing him.

We're bumping the cap. If he wants to restructure, fine. But he's probably not a $6 million player, even if he came back healthy.

Every high dollar player we keep makes it harder to sign Graham, Jenkins, Brown, Collins, Haralson and Strief. Not to mention potential free-agents we may desire.

Eh.. I suppose that is a good point.

I still hope we can find a way to keep him though. (without losing other big names..) I'd hate for him to go out a Saint with that injury.

Bingo. Keenan Lewis is our only CB now that deserves that kind of money. Time to forget about being sentimental and have Greer restructure or try to find it elsewhere. It's business.

Brown wont be back, so don't worry about him. The only players we need to resign are M. Jenkins, J. Graham and P. Haralson, the rest including Collins and Bush can and have been replaced before and will continue to be replaced. Lets not get sentimental over the incorrect players.

I think it's too early for this. When we started talking about the draft a couple of weeks ago we lost the next game. I am highly superstitious and think this is premature. jmho

Maybe the Giants will take Smith off our hands for 7th, I mean they traded for Beason. Hell i'd give them a 7th rounder to take Smith off our hands.

TheOak · 12-14-2013, 05:32 AM

As fans we may have to just pool funds and pay Smith to vanish.

ScottF · 12-14-2013, 08:34 AM

when will we learn our lesson on big contracts for linemen?
are we still paying Charles Grant too?

Smith might be part of the rotation next year just bc we can't afford to cut him
