The Fire Sale Theory

[Mr. Scot]

So a while back, I posted a question in the All Pro section that it's probably appropriate to discuss here as well. 

The premise: Hurney is not going to be an "interim" GM. He's here to stay.

On the coaching front, you have Rivera, a guy who believes that any and all blame for lost games falls on the players. 

So with those things in mind, a question:

Are we set up to see a "fire sale" this offseason, with Hurney and Rivera dumping players (in all probability, mostly Gettleman pickups) to reshape the roster in their own image? 

I was only about 50% sold on the idea myself.

After today though...

If so, Norwell and Star are gone along with KB.

I wouldn't have bought in to that idea prior to today. 

Now, who knows?

Hurney: If I get rid of all the players Gettleman drafted then it'll be like I never got fired.

Fans should just appreciate Cam a little more now.

KB is not the start of a fire sale all of us knew the offense was out of balance and we had a lack of speed. Yet everyone is acting like the sky is falling..

Maybe at the bottom of the roster but for the most part No. 

Infact, if it was left to Hurney, Tre Boston would still be our starting safety.

Kurt- safe

Adams- gone

Thompson - I could see this being a suprise Hurney move.

Star - maybe

Norwell- Safe

Williams- Safe

Matt Kalil - Gone after next season

Butler- Traded for 5th 

Cb's - Safe

Etc ... maybe a couple moves.

We still have the same scouting department from when Hurney orginally left. The only time I really think he hit the "GM choice" was the '16 draft

Idunno, I'm still shocked we let KB go for basically a 3rd.  Wasn't the 7th, basically the same pick we gave them in the Clay-Seymour trade?

Also, I am still holding out hope that JR isn't dumb enough to let him get the full time gig..  but I wouldn't be suprised in the least.

Why not bench him instead of trading him then? 

[Daddy_Uncle]

they'll just get rid of everyone to screw the next regime

Fire sale? No. Dumping Gettlaman's failed draft picks when they come to the end of their cheap rookie contracts? Yes.

Scouting department has actually seen its fair share of changes, biggest of which was likely the departure of Ryan Cowden. 

Likewise, Don Gregory is no longer chief of college scouting, and Mark Koncz was fired shortly after being promoted from pro scouting.

No he will be gone after this year he has done nothing but hurt us 

He lasted eleven years last time. And then after being fired for incompetence was brought back. 

I don’t buy that he's going anywhere.

This is Hurneys team now.  Today confirmed it.  Get used to it or leave
