Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 
With needs at Corner, Safety, and more help along both lines and receiver, all of these moves make sense. I agree with Mr. Magic, Piere and Bunk could be next. Hawthorne played well last year, so I don't think they are going to move him.

I think we are in a lot better position this off-season as we know what we have along that defensive front. Cam and Gallete had strong seasons, and Hicks and Jenkins will hopfully continue to play well next season. The backers need to be upgraded as time goes on. We can survive with Lofton, Hawthorn and I would think we will try to bring Haralson back. Butler will finaly take the field this season. Our back end needs more work.

Once again, we need to hit home runs with out draft picks and quality buys in free agency.

You said ancient and washed up.

Bunkley's dead money is 4.83 million, so if you cut him we only save about 1.2 million. You won't find a better DT for 1.2 million.

He should restructure, but I'd be disappointed if we cut him.

Hawthorne may have been our best LB last year. Hawthorne has 3.5 million cap, but 4.5 in dead money. If we cut him it actually adds a million to our cap.

PT is probably the best candidate because he has a 2.9 cap hit and zero dead money.

So, by cutting all 3 of these players you save a grand total of 3.1 million, of which PT accounts for 2.9

I just shake my head at people saying that Bunkley should be cut. It's obvious that we need to restructure his contract but cutting him would be insane. With all of our needs do we really want to have only one DT on our roster?!

I agree the right move is getting rid of him BUT surely he had some trade value?!

I think Sproles being cut means PT is staying (possible restructured). He is hands down the most well rounded back we have had in a long time. Not to mention the most dependable. I hope he stays (for a hometown discount). PT, Ingram, and Robinson makes for a nice backfield IMO.

I've been pretty frustrated with too many RB screens . It was getting hilariously predictable. Teams have been seeing it coming for at least a 2 seasons now. Time to get the traditional run game back. 2009 anyone?
