Our secondary was the weak link on defense last season and everyone is so ready to cut everyone just to increase our cap number. Its not your money so I don't understand why more fans are so in love with players salaries and their cap numbers. We as fans should be more concerned up upgrading the position not saving money. I want to know how cutting Whitner after having to let Goldson walk is going to help our secondary. Goldson was out of our control. There was no way we could bring him back at market value. Cutting Whitner however makes no sense at all.

So Whitner was good in pass coverage? And is worth the $4+ mill?

Solid argument.

Whitner is a classic SS. Meaning, he's much better suited to defend the run than the pass, which I think he does pretty well actually.
He fits our scheme well because more often than not, we play eight men in the box. The problem is once our pass rush faded, his inability to cover become painfully obvious.
Good thing Anquan Boldin is on our team now, huh?

To say we should just CUT someone means you clearly aren't thinking it through. No Whitner is not great in coverage and we could do better. But just cutting him isn't the solution. You say Draft Free Agency? ok. That's a solution. Who in Free Agency? And you want to just cut him and leave a huge hole in that position hoping a rookie can just come in and start? Do you know of any rookies who can? If so, name then. Since you're sooo serious on cutting Whitner, clearly you MUST have someone else in mind....
