[Kevin Greene]

Put it in Offense thread

 

 

Thanks, my bad, DCK saw it though.

[DaCityKats]

Isn't Bradley Fletcher a UFA?

 

i didn't think he was a top 5 FA from that team.

[DaCityKats]

So, do we keep those who are not top5 FA?

 

you can if you want.

Houston should have $25 in cap space after the johnathon joseph cut

[asknoquarter]

The Steelers have cut the following players:

Troy Polamalu ->8.250->.7->5.775=$6

Lawrence Timmons->12.566->.7->8.79=$9

Cam Thomas->2.5->.8->2=$2

Cortez Allen->6.981->.5->3.49=$3

Cameron Heyward->6.969->.8->5.58=$6

 

Total Savings of $26

The Giants will be using the franchise tag on Jason Pierre Paul.

 

Want, to keep him but don't wan to get in a bidding war.

[O-Ther]

The Failcons continue the cutting

 

Jonathan Babineaux is a neaux-geaux for next season 2years, 3.67m -> .3 x 4m=1.2m cap hit (4-1=3m cap savings)

Colts have announced that they are releasing DE/DT Ricky Jean- Francois, saving $4.

No organization is going to clean house like this. i only allowed the Troy cut.

Cortez Allen was one of the bottom 5 CB's in the league last season when he was healthy.  Cam Thomas isn't worth the $2 price tag when I could get the same thing for $1.

 

The only questionable cuts are Timmons, who I may be able to get for less than $9, and Heyward, who I went back and forth on, but decided he wasn't worth $6.

 

The comment about no organization cleaning house is true, I will settle for renegotiating Roethlisberger, Timmons, and Heyward instead, but I didn't know that was an option.

 

Hard to fix holes at OLB, CB and S with $2.  Someone had to be cut, just trying to play by the rules.

i will allow the Allen cut, and Thomas cut. but Timmons is a fixture on that defense, and damn good LB. Heyward I'm on the fence with. will add those 2 to the pool, and adjust the money.

That's fine, I was going to try to get them back via free agency anyway, but based on how much free agents go for in previous seasons I thought I might be able to get them cheaper.  Heyward is in the option year on his contract so an extension is probable. 

 

Not saying I don't want those guys on the team, based on the rules of the game it seems logical to try to get them cheaper or find better value options.  Timmons was only cut because I didn't think I could get Roethlisberger cheaper than $18.

Steelers going tank mode?
