Keep either Daniels or Wynn but not both. Injuries happen to the DL and it would be nice to have a vet on the bench who knows how to play - - even if he isn't going to come in and play at an All-Pro level. My preference would be to keep Daniels over Wynn, but it's only a marginal preference.

Get rid of Brunell only if you are CERTAIN that Todd Collins is able to step in and lead the team over a 4 game stretch. Because, if Campbell gets hurt, you have to have somebody play QB and the first person to suggest that Randle-El can do that also believes in the Tooth Fairy.

Collins has been in the NFL 12 years - it's not like this guy has a long future ahead of him - and he has started a total of 17 games. Ask yourself this; if he were a really good QB, wouldn't someone have given him a starting gig by now? The last time Todd Collins started a game was in 1997. If you cut Brunell, you have to pray Campbell does not miss even a series of downs OR you have to believe that Todd Collins can dash to a phone booth enter as a career back-up QB and emerge as Superman.

In the last 9 seasons, Collins has attempted a total of 22 passes. For his career, his QB Rating is 70.4 which is about the same as Kordell Stewart's lifetime QB rating - - and not too many folks think of Kordell Stewart as a great QB. Be very careful what you do with the QB position on this team.

Springs could be a cap casualty if they can't work out a restructuring that suits him. But if the "numbers work out" the Skins cannot afford to take the risk of cutting him. They just don't have the depth behind him to take that chance. We sort of saw that much of last season, no?
