Releasing any is bad IMO
I believe (Triplett at?) NOLA.com broke down the benefits or lack thereof on this issue. If I recall correctly, we wouldn't save much by releasing P-Rob and would make a mistake releasing Greer. The only move that seemed to make sense if we didn't keep them all was to trade P-Rob... trying to find it and wifi is slow 2day... stay tuned
Here it is... in 2 articles I found most of what I believe has been reported. I think it makes no sense to release either player... via Triplett and Hogan respectively... reports:
It's just too bad Asomugha doesn't play another position. The Saints are arguably deeper at cornerback than anywhere else on their defense after signing Lewis to join incumbent starters Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson.
It wouldn't make any financial sense to release Greer or Robinson. Greer's $3.6 million salary is guaranteed this year, and he already received a $400,000 roster bonus this month. Robinson's salary and bonuses this year add up to only $800,000.

and this report:
If Asomugha is signed, the Saints have a few options.
They could decide to keep all four cornerbacks along with 2012 fifth-round pick Corey White, forming a strong collection of pass defenders.
They also could decide to release Greer or Robinson, but neither is a strong candidate because Greer's salary is guaranteed and Robinson, who remains on his rookie contract, would offer little savings.
The Saints also could decide to trade one of the two, with the 25-year-old Robinson being the most likely candidate because of his age and reasonable contract (two years remaining with caps hits of $2.2 million and $2.3 million.
What should the Saints do?
