Secondly, why are so many people or few people ready to shift Samuels to RT? #1 can he do it and #2 would he even want to?

Thirdly,(LOL) Why would we expierment with putting DD at RT or LT? He was used as a Guard cause he was not Tackle material. They tried to make the move with Wade cause he was taller and bigger but he could not do the job.

I'm not knocking DD I'm glad to have him back even if he did false start more often then anyone else.

I stand corrected it was not the thread starter. I think it was in another thread about free agency and salary cap I think.

if you cut springs (for 6.5mill) and taylor (for 8.5mill) you have about 27mill of space to work with.

rookies and tender offers can cost us up to 4mill (1.5 for monty/golston i believe, and our kicker signed his 1mill deal already). rookies should be 3mill-3.5mill.

haynes i believe would cost 12mill for 2009 (other people have said 7mill, but i don't think that'd be a workable, league approved and compliant type of contract for a 6 year 100mill deal with 35mill in signing bonus).

so that leaves you with about 8mill (though there can be a few small restructures etc left for maybe 2mill more if needed).

that leaves 8-10 to work with...

canty is probably 6mill for a first year. dockery (hopefully) would only be 4... hall would probably be 5-6.

so it'd be cut springs/haynesworth, sign one other major FA and 1-2 minor ones.

2 big names, 1-2 very low level guys (kendall/depth LB/etc).
