Default Time To Free Up Some Cap Room?

We're are into Day 7 of fee agency.

We've re-signed 5 players (including Love) and signed 10 free agents from other teams.
We have done well with our cap space! It seems likely that some move may need to be made soon.

Cut Ocho. Sign Welker up for 3yrs with a little more than the average pushed into the 3RD year when the cap increases dramatically. That should give us enough to re-up Mark Anderson.

There is always a surprise cut, right? I just hope it isn't Wes. I'll cry!

I'm almost certain we trade 2 or 3 picks into 2013

Cut Stinko, and give Wes a 3 year deal. That should free up some space.

Wes Welker for Jared Allen,
Wes Welker for Tim Tebow,
Wes Welker for current and or future draft picks.
Right now we have little to no holes going into the draft.
Something has to occur to stir us up cutting or trading Wes would do just that,
Gonzalez and Stallworth who can both do some damage in the slot.
Softens the blow.

Remember, according to Felgah... the cap is crap. Opinion, not fact.

Gonzalez hasn't done any damage in years, and Stallworth isn't a reliable slot receiver

cutting or trading welker is a horrible idea.

As for holes and the draft -- think defense -- plenty of holes there.
