Yeah, based on the follow up I posted, that's what I was thinking too.

@PHABMK6 @alexmarvez There's a difference between the reason they cut him (cap) and his current status. Quite misleading.

Yep.

Bucs, Bills, Redskins...they made noise with their WR signings today. But what about the rest of their team? Is Pierre Garcon going to improve that anemic Redskins rushing game? Will Mario's defensive efforts improve their offense? Vincent Jackson--Is he going to turn that team around overnight?

Not trying to be a spoil sport about it, don't get me wrong, but I think at the end of the day we free'd up some cash and space and hopefully we're doing our due diligence with our own guys first and foremost...then move on to what's available if we lose a few guys to someone else.

Whatever happens, it's going to happen. 2011 made me trust this team again. If they find JJ Watt and Brooks Reed-type players in the draft, then great. Kubiak will likely get to have his way in this year's draft, so I expect a big ugly somewhere on the o-line to replace Winston and/or Myers (if it comes to that). Then we have a 2nd rounder to use on maybe another o-line guy.

All is not lost. I be chillin'.

Winston was repeatedly listed last season on the injury list for an ankle since at least October. He finally underwent arthroscopic surgery last month.

Have had only limited ability to get on the board. Hopefully more as the draft approaches!

Good to see your horror avatar. We'll hold down the fort 'til the draft.

Hemorrhagic day today.
