If we cut Stew & D.Will 2 years ago

Don't buy the hype, there is enough money to pay players. This idea that the running back contracts have ruined our cap situation is convenient for the front office/owners box but it isn't true. Ever notice how other franchises make big signings, sometimes they turn out to be mistakes, but they manage to restructure deals and continue to sign players the next year? Unless, of course, you don't want to spend money on players.

There's cap room to sign NFL level tackles and corners and give our QB an extension. But if instead you surround the QB with replacement level players and set him up to fail, then you don't have to commit to him long term. And the TV contract money just keeps rolling in. And that, son, is how you read a pie chart.

Dude. We are still paying Jordan Gross, Jon Beason, and Steve smith. It's not just the running backs.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
