Roughly 24 mill in cap space, who stays..who goes

Team needs an overhaul, getting old and slow at many positions, jags all over the place. Approximately 24 million in cap space. Your our next GM (bye Hurney), what is the game plan to fix this roster and not break the bank.

I think this team was built over the past several years to beat Seattle and New England. 

During our success the Saint and Falcons built rosters to beat us. We need to start rebuilding our team to beat the Saints and Falcons.

The CJ move is a no brainer. The others could be negotiated.

Team certainly doesn't need an overhaul. 

Need to retain Norwell. Keeping Star would be nice. 

Other needs can be met via draft or reasonable free agents.

Getting Samuel and Byrd back.

Hall and Elder were basically red shirted.

Team definitely has needs, but not this black hole.

Offensive line will be solid outside of Matt Kalil if we keep Norwell.

sign norwell,

sign star if affordable

cut M Kalil. 

get playmaking NFL wide receivers that don't just fall down. (not though FA because those are almost always bust). 

get much faster at safety position (through FA if possible)

cut CJ, 

cut mike adams, 

ban Silatolu from even trying out for the team.

BTW what is the love affair with Silatolu?  One of the best thing Gettleman ever did and he brought him back.

Does he have pictures no one should see?

Spotrac has us just shy of 18 million in space and does not include the 18 rookie class as best I can tell. This does however include the 8.5 million saved by trading Benjamin.

Using that link will help you see the cuts that make sense financially. Take the current cap hit and deduct the dead money from it( dead money is listed in parentheses. You can spread the dead money over 2 years if you’d like).

“Team is getting old and slow at many positions”

But but but Gettleman left us in a great position...

Like this front office you guys can never see what’s in front of you until it’s too late.

WR is priority number 1 this offseason and any move made to free up space should be done so with an eye on a specific FA. Hurney also needs to find a legit day 1 plug and play stud in the draft (Calvin Ridley) to help save money. We can’t afford to find a bunch of below average players in the draft, we have enough of those.

Yeah let’s cut Matt Kalil and carry an absurd amount of dead money...

Brilliant

    • 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.
