He also didn't start our playoff game against Houston.
He is a great locker room guy and a leader on the team.
Whether he retires or gets cut probably mostly depends on his ability to play at a high enough level this season combined with the play of others at OLB. |
The point being made is that the savings of just over a million in cap space is not worth what Hali still brings to the team. Even if he ends up just as a rotational player by year's end, which would actually be ideal if it means Ford is playing well, he still brings more than a million dollars worth of leadership and ability.
