    We may see a good one cut near training camp as team try to get everyone signed and get under the cap. But who?

    Oh geez..

    Loper will be one of our starting OGs. He is big and strong and played very well for us when given the chance. Loper started in the playoff game in olson's place when olson was injured so why does it take so much imagination for him to be there next year?

    It was because they liked what they saw in loper that they didn't work harder to keep bell. Personally i wished we had bell and scott because you can never have too many good o-lineman.

    We have even more cap money now. We save about $8M on the cap with olson's retirement and pacman's almost certain departure. Time to get those deals done for haynesworth and roos. Like now damn it!

    Loper should play pretty well next season.

    Benji's play was decreasing for the past year or two. He was a liability last year so him retiring is for the best and saving 8M on the cap is very nice.

    :grrhee: I hope Bud decides to give all this wasted cap money we aren't using to the season ticket holders. THAT would be nice!

    Thank you floyd reese..

    He drafted bell in 04 in rd 5 and then roos, stewart and loper in 05. Job well done there.

    I remember visting camp in 05 and seeing these 3 rookies, huge, white dudes all similar in size. Stewart is the tallest of the 3 and played a lot of guard that day holding his own against haynesworth and beating up starks and some of the fat UFA guys. Roos looked like a 5 year vet out there. Loper was almost more physical even than stewart at RT.

    If we let any of these guys get away it will be a crime.

    Does anyone know if Mawae is returning next year? I heard he had some harsh words about VY!

    I was wondering that as well. His words were not just the generic type about vince having to study more and grow as a player. Mawae said that vince was clueless at times out there and didn't even know what play to run.

    I assumed he was gone when i read that..
