Wrong Safety was cut, but this front office was never mistaken for one that knows what they are doing. We are suddenly very weak at the position with a bunch of unknowns and a player who never earned his stripes before he mistakenly got extended, and can't stay healthy.

Might as well get over the loss of Iloka.  Back when he was drafted, big hitting was still a cool thing in the NFL.  Lately, he had turned into a liability as a penalty attractor.  We only have room for one of those types in today's NFL, and Vontaze is our guy.  Besides, I'm not so sure that between Fedj and Shaw, they don't come up with a duo as equal or better than Iloka and Williams were the past two years, and plan to see steady insertions of Bates.  Bates ain't no joke.
