But could that vet be Pat Sims, who will only cost $1 million for next season? Or is Peko that much better that Sims could get cut and Peko re-signed? Peko will likely cost about $3 million to re-sign.
For Maualuga, it just makes too much sense to cut him. He will have no dead money and that $3.7 million can help toward extensions or bringing in a better stop-gap FA.
I do want to see a LB drafted early regardless if Maualuga is cut or not. I personally like Foster the best and then Cunningham. I could deal with McMillan in the second round, but would Kendell Beckwith be just as good or better and be had in the third round? I think Beckwith is also a good ILB that can come downhill and stuff the run but is better in coverage than McMillan.
I actually prefer McMillan to Cunningham in all aspects coverage and stuff the run but to each his own. I would love to draft McMillan and beckwith to actually have lb depth for once. That has always been our weakest position and would love to majorly upgrade it.i would rather keep peko bc peko has always been a solid player and his presence in the locked room.
