| Should we cut/trade Kuhn in 2013? |

| It would not surprise me one bit if Kuhn is a poster boy for availability and accountability in that locker room. |

I kind of hope that Alex Green can grow into that spot, but right now keeping QB1 upright is a priority and nobody hits the QB harder than inside blitzers, so you shouldn't blink at paying $2-3m to your blitz pickup guy. |
Well this is a very strong point, and a point that Kuhn's agent might point out in negotiations.
And the team might concede the point as well, but then wonder what other team is going to look at Kuhn's skillset and want to toss 2.5 mil at him? _________________

Hello, old friend. |
I'd definitely take Jackson back, if the money's right. |

Jackson's money would definitely have to be right.
Ditto on the Green grows hope. _________________

I have never been a fan of his, surely we can find somebody else to get stuffed on those 3rd& short carries Kuhn never coverts. I am not a DJ Williams fan but he should be able to do what Kuhn does and he is much more athletic. |
GMTA
He is good at picking up blitzes and on ST but I cringe every time he gets the handoff on 3rd and short.  _________________

But Jackson is not a FB. Could Green fill that spot?  _________________

How often do we actually line up with Kuhn as a lead blocker? Doesn't seem to me that we do much I formation. Doesn't seem to me we are all that effective when we do. The FB is pretty much a dying breed. I think Taylor could handle those responsibilities the few times we "needed" them if we decided to move on without Kuhn. _________________
