some very interesting/educated thoughts and is worth the read!:salute!:
some key points for those who are too lazy to click the link
"
-I expect Dre Bly to be released because of his price tag.
-DJ is a 4-3 OLB, through and through. He's a lateral pursuit, run-and-hit guy. If I could get a LB needy 4-3 team like the Saints to part with a second round pick for him, I think I'd do it. As much as DJ has been a nice player, his next game-changing play will be his first, and I just don't see him as a fit in a 30 front.
-Wesley Woodyard is a fit as a nickel LB, but not in a base 3-4. He's a minimum-wage guy, so it is a totally different situation than DJ.
-I think we currently have 4 legitimate starting players, (assuming I am right about DJ Williams being moved, and Dre Bly being cut.) That is Marcus Thomas at RDE, Elvis Dumervil at LOLB, Spencer Larsen at ILB, and Champ Bailey at CB. You have Moss, Crowder, Woodyard, and Barrett who are maybe guys, but probably all 4 are situational players.
-So, if I am the guy who is shopping, I would sign Chris Canty, Channing Crowder, Oshiomogho Atogwe, and Yeremiah Bell, and I additionally think about Andra Davis and Justin Miller if I can get them at reasonable prices. Those are all reasonably priced players. Then I draft BJ Raji in the first round (ESPN ranks him 14th overall,) Sean Smith in the second round (ESPN rank = 58th,) and Clay Matthews, Jr. in the third round (ESPN rank = 75th.)"
Very interesting read, and i agree with most of it (although i'd be very dissapointed to see DJ traded)
also the speculation that richard seymore could be a cap casualty is very intriguing.
and with that 2nd rounder he got for DJ he would select shonn greene rb iowa
