I would love to replace all 3; however, how easy is it to do so? That's the issue here. Upgrading 1 and even 2 OL spots is a task in and of itself, so going for all 3 might not be feasible. Plus the cohesiveness of the line would be relying on one above average vet at RT and one promising youngster at LT.

I think the best move is to determine which of the two between Grubbs and Evans is better both cap wise and talent, then cut the other one with the intent to replace/upgrade. Lelito will remain on the team since he is at least a good backup, and we can try to upgrade over him in FA or draft as well. Maybe it's possible to do all three, but I don't think it's very likely.

After the incohesive act the Saints' defense put on this season after losing Jenkins, Harper, and Greer... How bad do you think it would be to lose 2 or 3 O-linemen who have been together for years?

This is a very tough situation to be in because the Saints are in a "win now" situation with Drew Brees.

The "cut the 2 guards" idea is really tricky. Cutting Evans and Grubbs might save the Saints $9.6 Million, but it will also still cost the Saints $11 Million against the cap. Is $11 Million for guys that aren't even on the team worth it?

There will be a lot of restructuring this off-season.
