I figured this was coming. I wonder if they will restructure his deal.

He will be missed. I always thought of his as a dependable player and a classy guy.

I wonder if we will go after Igor Olshansky now.

I believe Vonnie will eventually restructure his contract and resign. He was due to large a number, if he was not released

JT's ultimatum got him released. I wonder if he will go somewhere else.

I hope he re-ups for a lower contract, too. I really got the feeling that he meant a lot more to our defense than just numbers.

That said, it's exciting to think that this gives an opportunity to Merling. Toward the end of the year, he looked like he was ready to take the next step and start.

Vonnie isn't coming back. He is old and doesn't fit in our long-term picture of rebuilding.

We got what we needed out of him last year. With Starks and Merling.....no need for Vonnie

This may be good news for Rod Wright as well.

Certain guys you can feel this way about but not holiday (imo) he is the emotional leader on this defense and like the father figure in the locker room. When there are problems i am sure he is the one the younger guys turn to for guidance and is the link from them to management. Sure his tank was running low but his big brother on and off the field leadership we no longer have. I think this is a bigger loss than most realise. You cant put a number on what vonnie brought to this team. Good luck on your future endevors...
