Look since Reggie left we have been basically running 2 SS's out there. we found a FS in Bates. Williams has more years before needs a new contract. IIloka hasn't been as productive since reggie left.
Or he didn't fit The new scheme very well.
The only surprise was we didn't try to trade him. but the Saftey market is very limited as there are a couple decent safties still waiting for contracts on the market. They didn't cut him earlier cause they had to make sure bates was who they thought.
That's not true though Reggie was more of SS than FS. He played more like Troy Polumalu then ED reed. He blitzed, he played in the Box, and he could play deep. He was kinda of a jack of all trades type of player but he really wasn't a traditional free safety.
Iloka was more of a field General out there Called the plays, lined everyone up, and prevented the deep ball. Yeah he didn't have the play making ability of Reggie or Bates but he did his job quite well.
We should be talking about moving Williams to LB in Nickle not cutting Iloka.
