Don't think Harper will be cut. He might get traded though.

Will Smith will DEFINITELY not be back in black and gold though. Malcolm Jenkins and Mark Ingram will be back in 2014.

I doubt a trade. Hes older and recently had a injury. If we did we wouldn't get much for him.

And approximately 31 teams know we'll be forced to part ways with him due to our cap issues. Some team may want to avoid a bidding war and maybe offer us a 7th, or a conditional 5th/6th if we're lucky.

I'd almost rather keep him for our 3 and 4 safety sets.

The more I think about it the more I agree. He's a good locker room guy and a leader and has his attributes. He may be bad in coverage but he is solidly above average against the run. When he got back from injury our run defense instantly got better. If we can find someone to start in his place and only use him on obvious running plays or in special situations and still manage to keep him for cheap I'm all for it.

Teams that want a veteran SS on the cheap?

He'd only cost a team about 2.3 million (His bonus portion of the cap stays with us).

We gave up a 7th for Shanle, so while its unlikely, its not out of the question.

You know i had to get a dig in there Danno...

I do think if Harper restructures he can be an asset. I dont think he'll start but he can come in on 3 safety sets.
