There may be a deal in the works but I don't understand why they cannot keep all three guys. They are nowhere near over the cap... Gives then three man-coverage guys for when the offense puts three WRs on the field.

Not sure why keeping all three is impossible...

If they keep Samuel ($9 mil) and Nnamdi ($12 mil), that is $21 mil. or 1/6 of the cap just in two corners. Their linebacking needs work, their OL needs work, Desean is demanding $$$, etc. Having just two corners eat up 1/6 of the cap is problematic or more teams would do it.

I was just about to say that pretty much only one premier FA remains on defense, Cullen Jenkins.

Schefter just reported a second ago that they signed Cullen Jenkins for 5/25. Which changes the tenor of my post.
