Free Agent though.

I like the thought, but it'd be awhile before he was ready.

There was discussion on the radio today that Benson's veterans minimum contract would be reduced by about $500K (from about $850K to $350K) if he went on IR. Don't know if the designation to return affects that, but this may be an expensive IR for Benson.

Why don't we resign the guy we cut to bring back Mike Neal?

If you meant Merling, I think we can do better.. He wasn't productve even in a backup role. That's why we cut him.

i'm still confused as to why we cut Muir, my untrained eyes thought he was pretty good in the preseason.. he made a couple plays that he was noted for if I recall... much more than Merling anyway.

personally, I'd like to see us pick up some OL depth, because we have none at all.
