"Several Defensive players in a group chat about wanting to play elsewhere"

[Jared Patterson]

I would resign: James Bradberry, Gerald McCoy, Mario Addison, GVR

Sign Logan Ryan instead of Cockrell (Im not a fan of him at all don't know why everyone else is)

We can easily afford these players. Its just whether we want to.

It's unlikely we can afford those guys, improve the team, and not end up in cap hell. Remember just how many needs we actually have and how little cap space. 

[Mr. Scot]

I can't recall a group of players all getting together and trying to go to the same place.

Mind you, their agents would probably all be facepalming right now.

[Anybodyhome]

Calling Mario Addison a JAG with 39 sacks in the last 4 seasons as a situational player really does nothing for your credibility.

That suggests that they cannot win a championship on their own.

They obviously can't... yet the implication is that the team/organization is what's holding them back.

Again, zero accountability. No admission whatsoever that their play was in no way even close to championship caliber

Which goes back to why this whole thing had to be blown up

I would sign Boston to another 1 year cheap deal if possible and draft his future replacement in the second round.

Unfortunately for this group, the only GM who would be chomping at the bit to wholesale sign a group of players off one of the NFL's worst defenses is currently employed by the team they evidently want to abandon.

Gotta imagine they're thinking Redskins...

Well, they gotta go where someone wants them so...yeah, probably. Can't think of anyone else who would look at the list of Panthers defensive free agents and think "SCORE!!!".

Ron likes his vets. Even those whose good years were a couple years ago.

They could be gambling that Rivera will want them, or maybe McDermott.

Tre was one of the better defenders we had this year. I can see a lot of guys on defense following Ron.

would be sad to lose Boston and Addison. I like Bruce Irvin but only on a contender, otherwise he’s wasting his time. 

Damning with faint praise...

That'd be a ride awakening for the Skins. Ron Rivera wanting to replicate one of the NFL's worst defenses. Yikes.

I would consider a two to three year deal at marginal starter/good backup money. That's what Boston is IMO.

Boston made good plays and bad.  But as a whole he played lights out for a player picked off the street before the regular season.

My impression is that he really, really loves those end zone celebrations / Thieves Avenue and that is why he wants to "keep the gang together".  But if that is his priority than good riddance.

Our takeaways were last in the NFL or very near the bottom.  Very low risk in a complete overhaul.
