So either we take the hit or trade Banjo if we want that slot for Hampton...

And I'm in your camp there, I'd prefer to keep Hampton...

D’oh! You’re right about Banjo. Nobody will trade for him though. That’s ok... we normally keep five safeties anyway and I’m classifying CGJ as a nickel CB.

FS: 43 Marcus Williams, 33 Saquan Hampton, 31 Chris Banjo

SS: 24 Vonn Bell, 48 JT Gray

Not necessarily, sometimes you get those wink-wink, nod-nod deals where you trade a guy for a cond'l pick if he makes the roster or starts 50% of the games deal with another friendly trade partner...

But I'd be really surprised we take a $1mil cap hit to cut a reserve/kick coverage player...
