I gotta disagree. Considine is just not very good. Dawkins, while a great leader, has seen his coverage skills decline quite a bit, and Lito Sheppard has gone from pro-bowler to bench warmer pretty quickly. LJ Smith got outplayed by Brent Celek all year, and Runyan is old and just had microfracture surgery on his knee. Aside from Dawkins, I think they did a nice job trimming the fat here, plus they'll get compensatory picks, along with the multiple draft picks they got for Sheppard.
