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.

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.

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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
