re: Now that the draft is over, any vet cap casualties? Day 1 LT starter?

It isn't just a blurb. He says stuff like that about Smith all the time. Just ask anyone with knowledge of their relationship.

If Smith gets cut I'd be extremely surprised. He said earlier this year that he'd hate to lose him but he did understand the cap side of it. Once he took a cut he become a lock to make the team barring becoming so incompetent he'd make Sullivan look like an all pro. I don't see that happening.

I'd be more iffy on Vilma. We have a lot more LBs than DEs(especially since many of the tweeners we had won't be big enough to play end) and while I think he can transition, I think his size and diminishing physical skills make him a higher cut candidate than Smith.

I'm not saying there won't be surprises but I don't see Smith as one. And a lot of other starters will be impossible to cut due to them causing us to lose cap space if we do.

Maybe Strief and Vilma would be the most surprising. Jenkins is a candidate but that wouldn't surprise me. Harper is a slight possibility.
