Side note - LZ Tweeted a few minutes ago - Okoye/Slaton/DanO cuts would save ~$7MM on the cap. Not exactly chump change for 3 guys that are pretty much useless for us.

I fully agree with DanO being tough to make it, but I was hoping they could restructurre/ keep Okoye and Slayton around for fair value. Okeye may not live up to first round promise, although only about 40% do, he is being a reasonable player and might fit new 3-4 scheme fairly well. And Slayton could be an excellent weapon if he is over his neck injury.

We really haven't seen much of Leinert here, but he is several years younger than Schaub and I guess Kubes likes what he sees to make that high of an offer for backup role, although seems many backup QB's get good offers these days.
