But I have always liked the idea of cutting:
Taylor, Springs, Washington, Griffin, Daniels. Which is 20+ million plus we are a little under the cap already + restructuring by Vinny to save more money. We can easily make a splash in FA.

Still not comfortable w/ letting Washington get away completely. Obviously w/ his injury propensity he shouldn't make a lot of green, but we are a better defense when he plays. If we let him walk we essentially have to 1) draft a stud OLB w/ our top pick cause he'll be starting (which is a shitty scenario IMO since we've got to replace one of the lousiest o-line's in football) or 2) go out and buy someone in FA. The someone we buy is going to cost us something and may or may not be a significant improvement over a healthy Marcus. My best case scenario here is cutting Marcus and bringing him back on the cheap - i think he'll do it because he won't make much elsewhere.

Still on the fence about Taylor... guess i'd like a similar situation to marcus where we cut him (costs us nothing) and bring him back for 2 million. He can shore up right end while Evans and Carter swap @ left end... which leads me to the guys I think should be gone, Daniels and Springs. I know Daniels has a heart of gold but he is too old and oft injured. Springs is just too damn expensive and i'm convinced not a team guy. Griffin stays. He was a warrior for us this year. IMO it was his best season since '05 regardless of stats - he should be rewarded w/ loyalty and let's face it there's not a whole lot we can do to upgrade @ DT. Our guys are monster run-stuffers and Griff is the leader.
