You can bring in his replacement. But getting rid of Bulger will be near impossible. He's got a huge salary here. If we cut him, it'll hurt the organization to continue to build this team.

We need to stick with him. Atleast for next year.

We can draft a QB this year. But in the later rounds. We need to build this team, and like it or not (to some of you) Bulger will be a part of the rebuilding process for next year.

If Bulger stinks it up, bench him. We can't do that now because our back ups are worse than he is.

But if we have a 5th round QB that we draft this year, we could plug him in and let him learn.

I agree, that is what I would do.

Someone please post his cap counts for the next few years.

I asked this very question of Howard Balzer a couple of weeks ago. Bulger counts for $8.5M against the cap in 2009 but the Rams would take a cap hit of $11 million in they released or traded him. His cap numbers for the next few years after that are $10.5 million (2010), $11 million (2011-2012), $13.5 million (2013). How much of a cap hit he'd account for if cut during any of those years would obviously depend on whether or not the NFL still has a cap then, which is unknown at this point.
