League wide veteran purge

[Devil Doc]

I wonder why the "Aints" havnt done a Purge yet?

[MHS831]

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?

 

I am noticing that too, and considering the cap is going up considerably, a bit surprising.

Justin Blalock might be worth a look

And yes, I feel this years vet purge is going to be one of the bigger ones in recent years.  I also see a lot of prices coming down.

Nothing more than depth

Gettleman ties haven't seemed to mean much.

It does feel like alot but i feel that alot of that is because there are big names that we grew and watched getting cut. Feels like most names i see cut i knew or heard about and know their stats. I do think we should seriously give a bunch of them a look as they can add depth and be potential starters for injury. If our young guys get injured or hit a wall towards the season. the vets can add a temp solution which could be a key to us getting to atleast the championship game.

I will not answer you until I see pie, Mr scot.

It does seem like a lot more recognizable names than this year, but my theory is that it's a result of the spending that happened after the lockout.  It's basically been a contract worth of time since then and now it's time for those players and back loaded contracts that got paid after the lockout to come off the books.

Gettleman spoke to Canty two years ago but told him he couldn't make a fair offer due to our salary cap issues.

As you wish...

Right!  They are sitting at 20+ mil over right now.  That is gonna be one hell of a purge.  Unless they get stupid and restructure everyone.   Those restructures only kick the can a little further down the road.  

 

Seriously hoping they take the restructuring road. They won't be competitive next year no matter what, so them "gearing up for another playoff run" by extending everyone and them cutting everyone and rebuilding is probably the difference between them finishing 6-10 and 3-13.
