Been seeing a lot of people asking why we aren’t making a move and trading for player  x, y or z?

why?

We don’t have the cap space, we used our extra cap space on slapping together a make shift offensive line and signing Reid. Which is what we needed to do. 

Our current salary cap sits at: $239,000

we ain’t signing no one, or trading for anyone.

I've seen you preach base salary restructures several times now. It is certainly an option, but you're kinda potentially damning your future in the process.

I mean, do you want to fully guarantee KK money even though he's clearly regressed a bit this year?

This is what happens when you put 75% of your cash into defensive tackles.

Dude, you literally know nothing, they have no incintive to do that. Especially Cam and KK

Why wouldn’t Cam or KK want all their game checks from this year right now. That’s the easy part. No player turns that down. 

  You want to discuss anything involving the salary cap, let’s do it. You are telling me I know nothing, yet you don’t have a clue on a simple restructure. 

  There is only one of us speaking from a position of ignorance. And I’ve proven many times it ain’t me. What else you got...

Once again, just like you did yesterday, he’s speaking( and preaching) in absolutes. 

 The question of if it’s a good idea is another issue. 

Cam- yes. Every year. The only way he is ever cut is injury and we would be rebuilding anyhow.

KK- tougher call because of what you said

i disagree that kk has regressed this year. poe isn't doing his job. he's not even meeting the level of star lotulelei. combine that with average edge play, and kk is getting a lot more attention than he has in previous years. 

kk isn't the problem on this defensive line. the other guys are.

The next two years won't be fun offseasons people.

Here's a look at people who's contracts are up next year:
Ryan Kalil (retiring and UFA)
Thomas Davis (retiring and UFA)
Pep (retiring again? UFA)
Mike Adams (retiring? UFA)
CJ Anderson
Marshall Newhouse
Eric Reid
Devin Funchess
Wes Horton
Fozzy Whittaker
Colin Jones
Kyle Love
Chris Clark
Amini Silatolu
Ben Jacobs
Daryl Williams
Taylor Heinicke
David Mayo
CAP
Manhertz (RFA)
Byrd (RFA)
Norris (RFA)
Cox and Obada are both ERFA

2020 UFAs:
Addison
Torrey Smith
Cockrell
Searcy
Shaq
Bradberry
Van Roten
Hawkins
Seymour

We're gonna need cap flexibility just to stay afloat. Bad contracts on guys like Matt Kalil and Munnerlyn are hurting us right now. One could argue that the last thing we need to do is to make things harder in the next few years on us financially.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
