He's been rotting on the bench for weeks now and reportedly some of the coaches aren't even talking to him anywhere. He's clearly been scapegoated, or LaVar'd as we know it around here.

Moving to LB isn't going to solve his coverage abilities which have always been a problem.

like i said, its about 7 million dollars cheaper to keep him and let him rot, according to the cap sheets i believe.

Roster spots are so valuable we can't just hold on to him because of his cap cut figure.

We've never been afraid in the past to bite the bullet on other guys, Coles being the biggest single cut.

the way i look at it, we cut him, we still will need to get a solid special teams guy and it would be cheaper in that regard to just keep him. i doubt we cut him, unless he somehow restructures his deal to be more cap friendly for a cut, if thats even possible, or if he does a buyout like lavar

I also think he'll be gone.

The fact that we paid him so much and he doesn't even see the field with the 30th ranked D speaks volumes. I think we'll dump him after June 1, take a ($2M) deadcap hit in 2007 and a ($7M) deadcap hit in 2008.

Man, if those are the actual cap figures, that will hurt. You live by free agency and this is an inevitable scenario.
Before we give up on him, I'd still like to see him try being an LB. I think he can't be much worse than what we have.
