Should the Seahawks cut Barkevious Mingo

    Griffin excelled on special teams. He's a keeper. So, it comes down to Mingo and Calitro. Mingo is far better. However, Seahawks could lose Sweezy and Fluker to F.A. and also Wright. Dumping Mingo would give them extra money to keep Wright or sign veteran OL players should they lose Sweeze or Fluker.

    Calitro has the heart & his instincts are good, but he is just too slow. While the Griffin story is good, he is way out of his league. He was abused in Denver & didn't make any impact while being on defense. I think his best quality is on special teams. Kendrick's is a stud & the defense was kick ass when he was playing, but unfortunately he more than likely will not be available anymore for us. Mingo has speed & reacts well & I only see him being better this year with a years experience in our defensive system. I hope we resign Wright. He has been nothing but a stud for us. Dedicated, reliable, team first, & a hard working beast. Stop picking up so called studs & build up our players. We wanted draft picks on players who didn't fit. Why do you think their teams let them go.

    I feel like every year Pete and John do a great job of building their guys into the needed pieces to contribute well in their positions. Martin could easily fill Mingo's position and grow into playing better then Mingo real soon. The math here shows that's what they should do. It's doubtful Mingo stays.

    He's not contributing enough in his role. He's a nice depth piece but not a starter and thus he's really not worth a significant salary on this team. Maybe he's worth it elsewhere but this team needs legit 3-down players on defense

    Saving the money would be nice but Calitro isn't as quick and athletic as Mingo and Shaquem doesn't seem ready quite yet. I feel like if you let Mingo go then you would need to spend that money anyways for the same position to a player that may not be not be familiar with the system they run on defense and even if they are familiar with it they may not gel with the other ten guys on defense because they haven't played with them before.
