Oh please, just because you don't like Salaam doesn't mean he doesn't have something to offer. Pitts isn't a T. Winston doesn't have near the experience that Salaam did. Salaam has been in the league for 11 years at the most important/difficult position on the line, and a starter for most of it. You don't spend that much time at the position and not learn a few tricks of the trade. I don't know how much he helped coached Brown (or the other guys) but I've always heard positive things about Salaam as a teammate so I would assume he was helpful to the younger lineman.
I don't have any problem with them letting him go. I think we have adequate back up plans, but the veteran presence is more important off the field than on it. I'm glad Salaam was here the last three years.
