Foster has a $9 million cap hit next year. If he is cut it would be $4 million in cap savings (9 minus the 5 million in dead money). He will also be 29 before next season starts. It is possible he survives one more year, but probably not. And either way he is gone by 2016. So even though I love Arian Foster and would probably call him my favorite offensive Texan ever, I am ready to see him move on since he is not a part of the plans for when this team is winning 2nd round playoff games and beyond in the glorious Bill O'Brien future I see through my Battle Red colored glasses.
Myers could easily be back. I just mentioned him because Ben Jones stands in the way of Su'a-Filo, but there is a chance Jones could play center (didn't he play it in college). The perfect scenario is the rookie develops into a great LG and Jones is far better at C than he is at LG. Now I am not even sure we have 1 good interior OL, let alone 3, but this is the type of season where I want to see that question answered definitively. The same is true with Morris/Bouye, Nix, Mercilous, Mallet, Savage, etc... I want to know beyond any doubt whether these guys belong in our future plans. And since the answers are more relevant to our future than the present is, I am more excited about those answers than I am about wins/losses.
