Ingram,Robinson or Thomas

I wouldn't mind keeping Sproles and PT for another season, but their cap hits are quite large.

I think we can do better with that type of money.
PT is 3 million, no dead money
Sproles is 4.25 million with only 750K in dead money (we'd save 3.5 million)

So if we release both we'd save 6.5 million.

Is it worth the savings to release them?

Agreed, but #9 needs to take the FIRST haircut if he wants a quality team around him.

Wouldn't it be great if, to go with this defense, we had a punt return threat?

I think that has a lot to do with the lack of punt return blocking... Cadet had a couple good returns this year(kick, not punt). With some decent blocking he could do both rather well I think
