Not much new here. The writer does say that Ohalete will likely be replaced. (Patience Clinton, you might get 26 after all)

I as a Cowboy fan would love to have Ohalete, he would be perfect to learn under Darren Woodsen. Yup let him go....

Ify is a guy we can't afford to lose. First of all, we don't have a skilled enough backup right now to step in and fill his shoes. Second of all, he is a rare siutation, where we have groomed, he came to our camp, worked his way up the ranks, and is now a starting caliber safety.
This kid is good, and was very impressive in his first season as the starter last year. Losing him would be a lot like losing N.D. Kalu, Shawn Barber, Trent Green, Brad Johnson and those other blue collar Skins that we brought up and let slip away. Now we watch them get their names called out each weekend on highlight reels, or see them hoist trophies into the air.
It would be a bad move, I would be dissapointed with yet another offseason decision.

No doubt! Solid player. I'd love to see management do more to keep some of these solid young role players vs. rushing out to get every old vet on the market. Its getting old.

LOL you wish, Roy is our Hybrid Safty/LB....Not very good covering FAST WR's , but excellent playing the run and covering backs and TE's.
We could use Iffy to cover the faster slot recievers, like Woodsen is doing, but woodsen is long in the tooth. Ohalete is an Unrestricted Free Agent am i correct.

I think we would cut Iffy only if we draft S. Taylor.

Keep Iffy. It would hurt more to hear sportscasters fumble the pronounciation of his name as he performs well against us in the future. At least now, they screw up his name, but we know he's ours. Like the blue collar work ethic. He's earned his position with the Skins.
