Agreed. I think though Florida is actually going to be our top competition in the division unless we lose a majority to TB this series. Then it'd go 1) FL, 2) TB, 3) Canes. If we win out or 3-1 we will be in play for the one spot.

True. Snow isn't much of a 4+ man rusher and showed he's not changing from his college scheme last season. Maybe its "because of personnel" but I don't see it. I think he's just a college ceiling coach. Thus secondary is much more valuable in his mind.

Take Chinn out of the secondary and we don't have a secondary. If we had kept Bradberry moving Chinn would be a lot more palatable but still downright stupid in reality. The whole Watson fetish at this point is just stupid. We just simply don't have the team at this point and I'd really hate to go through the whole Cam is carrying the entire team thing again with Watson, which will happen if we trade for him at the price that's being thrown around. He'll be a lot cheaper(trade price wise) next year any who. Not to mention why would he want to go from one rebuild to another. We know he wants a plug and play on a championship worthy team. For instance; You know the Saints would salivate over him this season if they could. He's only 15 million and they like to worry about next year, next year. The Texas just want as much draft/young capital as possible. I can see the saints throwing them half a dozen players(Kwon and Lattimore included) and the picks to make their salary cap work this year. More than I can see us doing anything that wouldn't be detrimental. Edit: Ok, I just looked at Houston's cap space and I take that last part back. They don't have the cap space to take on high priced players(CMC,Shaq or the above players in that scenario) without seriously moving their bloated contracts. Oof they are cap fugged and Watson isn't the problem... This Year.

Oh absolutely not. But under his first scenario I wouldn't go any further than Shaq + extra pick + extra player(YGM). Burns or Brown in that instance is too much for Watson end of story. Take Shaq and an extra pick off the table and give them Burns in the scenario you say I think they'd bite. Personally anything over 3 first and an midrounder for Watson is too much for where we are and what his contract becomes after this year but huddle gonna huddle and try to sell the farm. Cripplingly us for years in the process.

YGM in that scenerio. Those three are off the table. If I had to choose though I'd say 3 1st and burns. 3 1st, 1 3rd and Brown. Chinn is off the table.

He was not good last year. But did show flashes in previously. His concussion history though is the most concerning part 1-2 more and he is done.

I hope he does. It was pretty obvious last offseason this exact situation would happen. I have no idea why he didn't cut hurney lose then.

So last year wasn't rebuilding time but this year is? Wtf? Waste of a year. Also if we are "Rebuilding" There's no way Watson is coming here and we shouldn't be giving up a poo ton of picks. This don't make no sense.

Isn't he like one or two concussions from basically being done in the league though?

Any way you look at it Pre June 1st trading CMC for Watson we wouldn't have enough space for that deal even now. In fact we'd be about 10 million on the negative there. So even with these moves if CMC is in the deal we can't do a Watson trade. Without CMC in the deal right now, It might be possible to get Watson but we'd lose at least Samuel and Moton(unless we get him cheap this year with a backloaded contract, tag isn't possible in that Scenario). Plus we'd still have 15-20 spots to fill and single digit cap numbers to do it.

We have about 23(Teddy included) Starting/Key Backup/Rotational Spots to fill this year so ya we need cap space.

We have approximately 20 starting roster spots to fill and about with 22 rotational. We safely can say maybe 3 of those are on the roster already unless certain people really step up their game(IE: Greg Little). We have 35~ in cap space. - 9 for rookies but add on maybe 3 more for drafted starters? So about 26 million to fill 14-16 starting/rotational/key backup spots.

Enter Marty Hurney.

If this was the case why not just restructure him with an easy out next year.

Plus the need for cap space to do anything.

See these two make sense, same figures pre or post june 1st. Boston does not.

Why did they do it Pre June 1st? That part makes no sense. 800K in cap savings + 5M in dead money vs 3.5M in cap savings and only 2.6 in dead money.

No idea why we started Ned that game. Should have done reimer and gave him a rest on the first or both chicago games to be ready for TB.

CMC, Burns, Brown, Matos are the players that would cost us cap space as well as dead money. Burns being the least with 4 Million dead and only 240K cap hit.

17 million in dead money and 5 million in cap cost.(Pre June 1st)

Not to mention trading CMC will actually cost us 5 Million in cap space... Combine his dead money in and we don't have enough cap to pay that let alone Watson and the rest of the players we need to pay.

Statistically speaking he isn't even in the top 10 as of last year.

Ya, Breaking the home streak though is Q_Q.

I will say Florida ain't gonna be no joke this season. Gonna be interesting to see how the top 3-4 dynamic starts working out.

Fug we got too greedy there. Gardiner with a rare mistake right there.
