Well, we didn't really cut any 16 game contributers to begin with. I think more than anything we're hoping that our young wideouts, a healthy Portis, and a solid draft will plug many, if not all of those holes. And considering we'll be playing some 3-4 now, Griffin was simply expendable at his age and with the wear and tear. You have to figure that resigning Zoe Alexander was also big part of cutting Griffin.
