Great signing there Gettleman! $80,000 in dead money now. For a guy that never played a down for us, cut 2 months after signing.

It's .05% of the salary cap. Who cares from that perspective. I just want to know why.

This offseason certainly is full of surprises...

Most of us here were excited about signing Boykin, thought it one of the best moves Gettleman could make...  and now we let him go.

A somewhat lesser shock, of course, than letting Josh walk after tagging him, but still a pretty big surprise.

If you're a vet looking for a new team, this looks really bad for us as a team.  He came here pretty cheap, wouldn't surprise me if he took less to come here than somewhere else, then gets cut after all the FA stuff has slowed down.

I just don't understand this, unless some more info comes out, but I'm not sure how you take some rookie(s) over a guy with experience.

Also, I guess this gives us more likelihood of getting that comp pick.

Actually, this may push us into 2 picks territory if I understand the formula right (I don't).

Qualifying FA Additions

Gino Gradkowski (may fall below qualifying cutoff because of playing time/contract)

 

Qualifying FA Departures

Josh Norman (3rd)

Brad Nortman (7th)



Anyone else think that this has more to do with a logjam at Nickle? I know they are big believers in size at the CB position, they have really resisted letting Bene play outside because of his size, I personally think they feel comfortable with having 2 nickles on the 53 in Sanchez and Bene, and letting the rookies and development guys play outside. Boykin was always going to be a nickle back and it seems like we are set and have a proven nickle in Bene.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
