We are NOT releasing Reggie Howard.

Reggie is the only "proven" zone CB on the team. Madison is a man CB, Howard played a lot more zone in Carolina before we signed him. Since Poole is down for half the year, why would we cut Reggie Howard when he is the only other starting caliber CB we have on the team? Mario Edwards is a dime/nickel guy and Daniels will compete for the #4 spot unless he has a great preseason and beats out Edwards for the nickel spot.
TimBo will retire. He will not make it through training camp. Whitley will be cut. McKinney wont be cut because he is the only guy on the team who can play center..... who else has played center in the NFL? I hate McKinney, but theres no one else better RIGHT NOW on the team.
David Bowens will be cut if Roth can start. If we have Taylor, Roth, Holliday and Carter who can play DE, we are not paying Bowens 2.2 mil to sit on the bench. He was good last year, but he is small to what Saban seems to prefer at DE. He isnt an OLB and if Roth, JT, and Holliday stay healthy, I would expect him to be moved as a cap move.
