They'll go to the draft and get another RB, especially this year.
Now they have the room to go get someone like a Mike Ipuitati (sp?) and/or a Suh. People we don't want to see. They got rid of a RB with declining production for an injured LB. I consider the two players about even. I think the cap savings is really big, especially after they cut Ryans.

They did create a lot of cap space to spend, but we all know especially being Skins fans that teams aren't built in FA. You draft core players and hope they become good enough so you have to pay them. Chip better hope he can win with this strategy if not he will be fired within two years.
