Also, if we were going to draft a safety, we'd keep Harper and just draft a safety to compete with him and Jenkins. Not sign another guy for depth.
Well it does make sense if we are preparing to draft a safety. Let's say for argument sake (excluding whether or not it is more likely or not we draft a safety as a result of this move) that we do in fact take one in the first. Whether it be at 15, or if we traded back. You honestly think they will keep Harper, with Bush showing he is at least a serviceable plug in, and a new guy coming in with a high ceiling? The freeing up of the 3.6 mill would be the biggest factor that I say he's gone if this happens because there are still a lot of holes we could fill with that money, and some pretty decent FA's available still.

Do you think they would sign Leonhard to cut Harper?
Do you think they would go into the season with two complete unknown players when they know what they have in Harper?
Do you think they would sign a guy who has not been a regular starter in the league to replace Harper?

the Leonhard relating to drafting is a reach IMO
We've had this Harper talk before. Here's a key mistake you are making...
It is not $3.6mil. We don't know the details but we do know $16mil of his contract is guaranteed. Even if the first two years were completely part of that (we dunno) that would be $9.9 million. That would leave $6.1mil that is guaranteed to him this year whether he was cut or not. So one, that would make a lot of sense. Two, it could only save a maximum of $1mil.
