Exactly. I am not trying to be the 49ers or the Titans where I have to cut all my good players cause of sentimental ties in previous years. That\'s not reality in today\'s NFL. Our best bet is to pick up that 2nd rounder he will bring us and sure up other needs. And there is ZERO chance we can resign all the players I mentioned if we keep Howard. He was good as traded once they tagged him. Everything else is irrelevant, what he would cost us is cap prohibtive and just plain dumb to jump on board for in the long run. The question is not WHETHER we should keep him, I think all would agree we want to. The question is how much will it hurt us next year and in the future to keep him? The answer, LOTS. Unless saying bye to Joe, MM, and either Bentley or Deuce is in your immediate plans cause we can\'t resign them.
