League wide veteran purge

[Mr. Scot]

I know the pre-free agency period is a time when a decent number of vets tend to get cut, but it feels like more than the usual this year.

Anyone else sense that or am I off target here?

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Wish they were purging more starting caliber left tackles 

[Mr. Scot]

Well there's speculation Anthony Collins might get cut.

Oh wait, you said starting caliber...

[The Huddler]

yes, it does

 

 

sign them all

[Kuech the Sneak]

It does feel like a lot, some quality FAs to grab this year when we have a bit of money to spend

[Jangler]

so the Panthers were ahead of the curve....for a change...

[mbarbour21]

Yeah, I think a lot are having to make decisions regarding cap and some vets' play have just fallen off or rookies have over performed. 30+ year old RBs, expensive 3rd WRs, back up DTs who could start, and the unknown due to recent injury. I think a lot of it has to do with the recent rookie crop coming in and balling. They can afford to do it because they have younger, cheaper guys filling slots/needs.

[Mr. Scot]

I suppose it could be that it's not higher in volume, but might be more big names than I'm used to.

are your jokes irl like this

[TheWiz]

Looks like teams are seeing that you can win successfully without paying a lot of guys ridiculous amounts of money. This actually bodes well for us. Some of these guys still have plenty tread left.

Money talks, age walks.

MOST of these guys will go where the biggest contract is.

Anyone see the Panthers making a surprise cut, like a Kalil for instance?

Honestly, I could see Getts cutting Thomas Davis earlier than he should. IMO. Hope I'm wrong, but I kinda have that feeling.

In tone, yes.

In subject, very few people in my circle of friends follow football closely enough to get things that people on this board would.

In either format, I get a fair combination of laughter and eye rolling

[TheWiz]

I would really like to see how many of these teams are showing their hand draft hand. A lot of these guys seem to be making room for what they're planning to address in the draft. I know that's not rocket science... but I just haven't seen it like this before.
