I only ask because in a passing interview with Simms they said something to the effect of "After Brees' contract is off the books it will help their cap situation." Swear I heard that a week or two ago.

Threw me off a bit. Regarding the position though. I doubt Linderbaum falls to 33 but he's my choice over anybody else there in the event Linder truly retires.

nothing on his contract is guaranteed, so cut or retire, we save the full amount on this year's cap. There's not even signing bonus to prorate or account for, this was a VERY team-friendly deal.

The Jags should move regardless of his decision, the article said they're cutting him.

I think if he retires, he gets to have a quick presser at team HQ and enjoy riding off into the sunset.

If we cut him, he gets to spend a week not fielding calls and retirement appears a begrudging reality instead of his own choice. It's a hat-tip on behalf of the team if he wants to retire as part of the team.
