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


Jmac

Recommended Posts

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

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
