Greer's cap # this year is $5.4M, with $4M being dead money. We'd only save $1.4M in cap space by cutting him.

Considering $1.4M is about 40% of what we have now, Thats a good amount of free'd up money.
You wouldn't pick up anyone of Greer's caliber for 1.4 mil. He was off last season, but he was still by a mile our best CB.

I'm no GM but I'm pretty sure Loomis is about value and I don't think cutting Greer to save 1.4M while losing 4M in dead cash equals value. I dont see Greer going anywhere.
When's the last time Loomis made any comment about a FA that we haven't signed yet, especially one in such a positive light?
Biggest excuse I constantly see. Philly was not a pure zone team. They played zone and man, he sucked in both. He was also absolutely terrible tackling and in run support.
If the Rob Ryan thinks there is something there he can work with, hey who am I to argue with him but I just dont see it.
All the Nnamdi talk has got me thinking (dangerous, I know)...I've been thinking we absolutely need pass rusher first and foremost, but maybe you're right. If an Aso, Lewis, Greer combo could shut down receivers just couple seconds longer, that might be enough to result in some coverage sacks. Basically, backward from how I had been thinking about it. I've been thinking pass rush is crucial to make the backfield better, but maybe a sick backfield could bolster the pass rush.
I thought about this too. But, if our CBs are able to lock down man vs man, then that would enable more blitz packages and maybe sending more people more often. So pass rush and get there sooner if we have a unblocked rusher. If Aso, Lewis, Greer and whoever can jam at the line and stay tight for 3-4 secs then rushing 6 or 7 may be an option.
