i'd advocate cutting will smith for sure...he's proven he isn't good at stopping the run or pass rushing this past year. he couldn't even clog up lanes while he shifted to DT on some downs.

Yeah I think Will Smith needs to go for sure. I cringed when I got an espn notification that they were trying to restructure him. I honestly just don't think he is that good at all in the first place, and definitely on the decline!

I would love to see Vilma stick around for a reasonable price and get fitted in the D somehow. I posted once before that Vilma is no doubt our best coverage LB, and is a very smart and instinctual football player. His size and durability are the ultimate factors keeping his name in limbo IMO.

And obviously I would like to see Harper restructured too, and I feel like he should be #1 priority for the saints. A vet who will thrive in Ryan's defense and still has something left in the tank. Pretty durable for the most part as well.

I agree....unless they feel like he can start and takes a major pay cut. But if all they keep him around for is a backup at more than the league minimum I'll be seriously disappointed.

But if he could start, I wonder if their thinking would be to groom Hicks for the nose?
