    Avg and a big cap hit without much prospect of getting better means you are a target for an upgrade either with talent or someone as avg but cheaper.

    If we draft a S in round 1 Id expect him to be cut or take a hefty pay cut to stay. We aren't keeping a backup S who has a cap hit of near $6.75mil. Same reason we will look to cut McCourty at $7mil and cb's are more valuable!

    He's been kinda disappointing, but no chance he's cut. We are way under the cap. Even if we sign Berry or draft Adams/Hooker, you now have 3 good safety's that can all play at the same time. Byard has the ability to be your dime LB. I think LeBeau would enjoy having that option.

    I think he has been disappointing because
    1. Out of desperation we overpaid to get him
    2. As such, people expected some kind of big time play maker with him
    I watched him in Buffalo and Searcy was there what he is in Tennesee -- a decent but unspectacular Safety. People got their hopes up.

    Hmmm...that sounds like it must be me since I'm the one catching all the flak for suggesting something crazy...like going after some premiere free agents. My bad!;)

    And people are getting the wrong idea. We aren't going to cut Searcy and then try and figure something out. If we have no one better after fa and the draft and roster cuts, he'll be starting next year.

    But IF we sign Berry or Jefferson or draft a premiere S, you can expect Searcy to stay until he's losing his job as a starter. At that time he takes a pay cut and stay or doesn't and gets cut. This is the business of the NFL. If you're an average player with a big cap hit, you have a target on your back. The team looks to upgrade the position with someone better or someone of similar talent but costs less.

    Since we have a ton of cap space, the cap isn't gonna force us to upgrade/replace him this off-season. But it is a position that needs upgrading at some point and for cap purposes, it's not good to have avg players having such large cap hits. We won't have this luxury in a few years after Mariota and a handful of players get PAID!!!

    While he's not great, he's good enough for now. This team is not good enough to be cutting players because they're average. Plus, he'll likely look a little better once the rest of the secondary isn't so poverty.

    The only way he's gone is if we sign berry and we need a few dollars.
