Actually with 2009 being the final capped year as it stands now, all proratred monies that used to be able to be pushed to the following capped year will as of now be counted against the 09 cap.

Thus, there will be no June 1st bloodletting as in past years.. it has no benefit to teams to hold onto them until June.

Hence the TO move now, verses post June 1st.. where in past years the Boys would have been able to push some of that cap hit into the 2010 year.

But post draft there will be a few vets purged when the draft breaks certain ways for teams.

Our cap space is actually about average for the NFL this year. It would be UGLY if we weren't fiscally responsible the past 4 seasons.

I don't think putting Vicks big brother in there really helps. He's not too expierienced with the 3-4 which is what we need. I have nothing against Malone, I'd like to keep him on the roster if possible but I'm not too sure he's a good fit at the end position. I'd much rather us go after Igor or Holliday. Not just for the sake of signing somebody but I really believe Igor or Holliday will smoothen the transition to 3-4 and put up some stats as well.

I just read where (and this is rumor) the Packers are not looking seriously at either of these guys. They don't believe Vonnie has enough gas in his tank and have doubts about Igor fitting.

I thought Holliday would be good because of his experience with Capers in this D but then again these guys keep their ears much closer to the ground and would have a better handle on what he has left.

You would think this would be about the only concern to have with Vonnie and would make sense they know enough to stay away.

If Dom Capers likes Malone then that's enough for me. I think his judgment is probably better than anyone's int he organization when it comes to the 3-4.

Even if Malone is the guy he can't be the only guy. Depth is a major concern at the position right now.

I don't see how signing a guy like Vonnie Holiday would hurt the team. Veteran guy who would be a big leader in the locker room with Charles Woodson and could help mentor guys like Malone and Justin Harrell.

Pork... I agree, the lack of interest in a reasonably priced FA like Holiday is puzzling.. two year incentive heavy deal sounds about right.

I also read that he was disappointed in Green Bay's lack of interest. That he wants to play for Green Bay again. To me it's a no brainier.

You sign Holiday and you have Malone back him up with Harrell backing up Jenkins and then your line is improve. Jolly backs up Pickett.

All of a sudden that one player makes your defense a lot more flexible. It's things like this that makes think more of the same is happening.

Malone, eh?

Who knows. That's why you bring young guys in, to see if they can mature into starters ala Tramon, Atari, Donald Lee, Ryan Grant, etc
