Donte Whitner released

[AsthmaField]

He is a better box safety than anyone we currently have. His age is a little bothersome and he isn't the type of free agents this team has been going after, so I question if the Cowboys will even look his way.

However if the deal was right he could be a banger upfront for a couple years and a damn good one.

Just another nobody we don't want

"Hitner" can't cover.

It is safe to say he would be an upgrade...I'm for improving so bring him in...

The move saves Cleveland $3.95 million, but leaves $4.5 million in dead money. Whitner is coming off a solid year, posting 81 tackles in 14 games and grading as PFF's No. 24 safety.

We have so many roster spots, a one year deal for him to compete will not hurt anyone.
