Quote:At the DE/Leo position, there are 5 players now, Fowler, Clemons, Branch, Davis, and Smith.  The weakest player is probably Smith, and I don't see Caldwell keeping 5.  Smith had 3 sacks last year in limited snaps, which may give him some value in a trade scenario.  Why would you just cut him when you could potentially receive value?  Teams at the back end of the waiver wire order, in need of depth, may be candidates.  However, I would not trade him or any Leo until you can sort out the best 4 keepers in camp.    

I simply don't think the team is going to trade away a player who they feel can provide value on the field, and the guy(s) released wouldn't garner much in trade if other teams anticipate they'll hit the street.  The reason even teams on the back end of the waiver wire would more than likely wait is because you're still talking about a team that's won how many games in the last 2 years?  Any talent being cut is going to be considered marginal.
