Ugh. Isn't this the same thing we said about Ellis last year?


yeah, cept I said I would have cut him. It would have cost $1.5 to cut and save $5.8mil, net $4.3mil that could have been spent better

Harper is the tough call that I would like to see made. $15mil of cap hit the next two years for him makes my stomach upset. Praying for at least a renegotiated deal to reduce and spread the hit out.

anything more than speculation on this?


No. Not really. I hope it wasn't him, but fear it was.

I don't think any player anticipating returning would do that. Unless they have already told MJ he's gone that wouldn't be so.

I put a list of the defensive RFAs & UFAs in the guess who thread

Put Hicks at NT and Lofton at MLB along with the other 9 safeties in the game.


Finally a scenario that makes since for us to get the honey badger, eric Reid and any other DB LSU puts out. This board wouldnt be able to handle a Saints D starting 9 LSU DBs.

Jenkins- Will cost just over $1.5mil to cut, will then save $2.264mil. Net $750K cap savings. So little savings it really would make no sense to cut him. See if he can get it on in a contract year.



If he doesn't immediately show improvement with his tackling, bench him.

Cut Smith. Trade Jenkins for Trindon Holiday, and start him at DE.

This board has done a complete 180 on Jenkins. Midseason everybody was claiming Jenkins was a staple of this defense. He was usually 1 of maybe only 4 guys ppl would say they would keep on this defense for next year.

Taken contract situations off the table, I would cut Jenkins because he does more damage on the field than Smith.

I would cut a ball off for Harper to be off this team. Not only is he old, slow, terrible, grey haired, and can't cover anyone, he went to BAMER.

Cut both. But if only one, I would cut Smith. He's slowing, not nearly as effective on pass rush, and he's a liability versus the run. Teams run right at him. He's done.
