Good question. I can't for the life of me figure out why anybody would think it's a good idea to cut either Jansen or Thomas. I guess they're scared that they'll never be the same players again. Or maybe they just assume all older players are on the chopping block after missing a season with serious injury. Either way, makes no sense.

Cutting Jansen would COST us $1.8 million in 2008 cap space.

Cutting Thomas would COST us $3.6 million in 2008 cap space.
