Thanks for clarifying.
One more thought... I think we all can look back on the decision to outright release Eric Winston as being problematic. The right side of the offensive line was an issue all season. Not that Winston was a Pro Bowler there, but one has to wonder why they team didn't try to get him to take a pay cut or renegotiate.
The other key release was DeMeco Ryans... before the injuries at ILB, I doubt this one really had an impact on the season, but in the final analysis, it would have been nice to have both him and Winston on the roster. Cap management probably forced Winston out whereas cap management was blamed for Ryans' departure when in reality he probably wasn't living up to his salary. Bottom line though is that both of these veteran leaders would have been nice to have this season had money not been an issue.
