Thought they should give LaBoy another season to prove his signing. At $2M cap hit, he could have been a bargain this season if he were to stay healthy & play like he did against SF and Buffalo last season.

that Laboy never stayed healthy. Seemed like it was something with him all season. Brown and Davis will be the backups while Okeafor and Berry start. I don’t mind having Brown and Davis being number 2s on the depth chart, as they will get a little more playing time and more experience this way.

Boldin and Docket are bitching, haven’t heard a lot from Docket lately though. Wilson will be a cap increase also.

I am surprised with Hood as he would have made a good nickle corner but not so surprised with Laboy. I am sure these cuts have something to do with the Boldin situation and the draft, I think we were something like 1.5 mil under the cap at the draft which would not be enough to sign the pick. Now we should have enough to resign Boldin and sign the pick.

and he was always on the IR. I loved him early in the season but why keeps someone around that can’tt stay healthy. I think this is an indication of another possible pick up in free agency.

If it saved money to cut LaBoy and it freed up money to extend Q or A-dub or Dansby than I’d swallow hard and say ok, but it cost us more against the cap to cut him. That makes zero sense.

I won’t go as far to say he’s the best OLB when healthy but he showed flashes early in the season that he could be.

at least until Toler can catch up to the learning curve.

Once DRC broke lose it seemed that opposing offenses exploited his weaknesses and were successful at doing so.

Hood was good, but the draft did put a lot of depth in the secondary. Maybe this is a good thing.

but I’m just pissed that I bought his jersey right after the season opener last season

I agree that it’s tough to get down to 53 with the way the draft played out but I’d have found a better way to do it than cutting LaBoy and Hood. First I’d assume that Davis can be put on the practice squad. He was a very late sixth round pick so the chances of some other team picking him up in late August and keeping him on the roster are very slim. There’s one spot and the other cuts are bound to come from the secondary, but where? In the Hood vs. Brown debate, I see you point about saving money on a nickel corner but you could also look at it as…who would you rather have in the starting lineup if DRC or McFadden went down for a couple of games? Something tells me we’d all be much more comfortable with Hood than we would with Brown and that doesn’t even consider that Toler would then step into the nickel role. I’d have left the corner position alone or just cut Brown (who I would bet doesn’t have much bonus money at all). I’d have trimmed at the safety spot with Ware being first on the list followed closely by Keith Lewis. Both are safeties who’s primary contributions will be on special teams. Give me a valuable nickel corner with starting experience over a backup safety who excels on special teams any day.
