Huddle question:June cuts are days away...what will happen

Recommended Posts

Just a question ....will anyone go or will we be looking for a starting tackle or just backups?? I would have to think DLo may be safe for now(god bless him and his family) and it seems that the front office is happy with the Chandler/Bell combination. Opinions on what may come down......maybe no big oline signings,no more wide outs or secondary signings of any importance? Or do they do something unexpected? Let's see who has a crystal ball

A.KA. Are they really happy with the online or will they bring in the best player available because they are blowing smoke about what we have.

I think, from recalling prior Cap analysts around here, Godfrey was due to be one, but because he took a giant pay cut, that's doubtful.  I'm not sure who else we could cut and save money doing so.  We're still a couple years on Deangelo, Stewart, CJ, Olsen or Kalil being viable cuts for cap relief.

 

So who knows.  I do bet Gettleman will be watching the cut list like a hawk.  That's my completely useless contribution =)

I think there will be a lot of threads here screaming for us to snap up up guys (Mostly OTs followed by WR) that were cut.  Also think that a lot of guys designated as June 1 cuts have already been designated.  Aside from that I dont know that much will happen.  I believe more will happen once TC starts but that is just my .02.

After June 1st, I will get cut.  Probably on my hand or arm or somewhere.  Most players will get cut sometime after June 1st, shaving, working in the yard, or during training camp.  Maybe some of them by their wife or girlfriend.  In Michael Sam's case, boyfriend.

 

I do know we get about 1 million in cap space after June 1st because Smitty was  a June 1st cut.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
