A nice restructure is what I'm hoping for.

But if you make him a June 1 cut you save $4.5 million.

I think the guy is a tremendous player myself, would certainly prefer him to stay if at all possible. But looking at the salary structure he is one of the few guys you could could rid of and still be comfortable with the replacements you already have on the roster. Remember it's not just Jenkins, Hicks played the inside quite a bit too. And Foster/Walker can play either that 3-4 end or inside on a 4-man line. If you have to cut money somewhere d-line is by far our deepest unit.

But then again Loomis may be able to work some magic and get the whole band back together. I would love to see that.

Just think how good they would be if they drafted another DT to add to that group. One to take Bunkleys spot next season? I don't think this front line would miss a beat for years, add an ILB and a ball hawk FS, add a veteran CB in FA. Our D would rock!! But we'll probably over pay for Graham.

And to sign a player as good as Bunkley would cost you about 4 to 5 million. So you really haven't saved anything by cutting him.

A restructure would mean we can keep him and save money.
