Some thoughts:

1. We do need to remember that we have to start building a little cap space for next year.
2. What if we cut Whitner and kept Goldson? One, the way he hits, I can see him as a strong safety or, if we keep him at FS, I think it would be easier to find a good strong safety than free safety. Whitner costs nearly 4 million against the cap and will be a free agent after this year anyway.
3. Some have mentioned re-structuring Vernon's contract. It is actually a very favorable one for us. It costs us 6 this year but drops into the 4s next year and the year after. I believe he re-structured a year or so ago to help sign someone.
