The team needs to make some changes on the offensive line, and they can save a little bit of money by letting go of Strief. They might need to spend some early draft picks on the position once again.

The team can save a bit of money with this move, and should try to continue to add youth to their defense. Their defense has had a lot of trouble this season and changes need to be made.

Spiller has not been a good fit, as the team has struggled to find ways to get him involved. He has a unique skillset but injuries continue to be a problem.

The veteran has certainly lost a step, and the team has several young players that have passed him on the depth chart. This might be one of the moves that they have to make.

The team will not save a lot by cutting Browner, but he has been a very poor fit in New Orleans. He has been flagged for way too many penalties, and may need to find a new team for next season.
