Unless it becomes a salary cap issue, for example we need cash to bring in Asomugha (hey, I can dream right) he'll play for us next year, and perhaps play well.

Any cap money saved if Taylor is released SHOULD NOT go toward another CB. We needed to address interior line depth on both sides of the ball and that is still our biggest issue.

I think that's a fair point but Nnamdi is a special guy. Given that Springs is likely to be gone next year, we are either going to have to resign Hall or bring someone else in. I don't trust Smoot as a number two for the season.

Smoot would be plenty good enough if we had a strong D-line that could pressure the QB. A great pass rush makes average CBs look much better. That said, I do want to see D. Hall resigned - he's a good athlete, he's young, and he wants to resurrect his image. In addition, we wouldn't need to break the bank for Hall. Asomugha is going to command insane money, but Oakland will almost certainly slap the franchise tag on him.
