Weatherly and Bonnafon placed on IR - Both Out For Season

In the end, it is just two injured roster bubble dudes who are going to have to pack it in early and collect checks while they recover. In the meantime, two more roster spots open up for Rhule and Co. to audition players for next year. Weatherly has a nice contract in place for next year and Bonnafon will have to see if a new contract is offered.

Weatherly hasn't lived up to his contract yet, so I'd say his future is going to be based on whether any of the stated replacements on the team can jump over the low bar he's set (7 solo tackles, 10 assists). Honestly, it shouldn't be too hard to do. Bonnafon, well, he showed some promise but without a contract in place, he's fair game at the end of the season. You can imagine that Carolina might be quick to offer vet minimum again, but they may just move on rather than giving him the Nick Goins treatment.

Expectation is that Gross-Matos gets more playing time, which is probably a good thing and that it gives us a chance to get a look at him.

He's had moments this season but not necessarily on a consistent basis so I'd like to see more of him.

which is a welcome change from burns being benched so irvin could put together more tape.

I've got to agree with you here. Is he what everyone seems to be saying? Haven't seen but a couple of flashes, and brief ones, of his supposed greatness. Sure would be nice to find someone of say a Mike Rucker level of ability.

I think he could be good, but I haven't really seen enough to say for sure yet.

Considering the year, the season, the offseason, the lack of quality veterans at the position in the organization and injuries... it's probably way early to grade the young man. Still, there's hope.

Are you a Q guy too? 

Edit: I literally told you what's happening 

Do you see him back next season? I wouldn’t think so if I was our coach. I can’t remember any DE in recent memory wanting to go on IR with this many games to go because of a finger injury. The only reason I would accept this as a coach is if it’s a firework accident like JPP.

Not sure - I would just be guessing. I'm sure it depends on the moves they're able to make in the offseason and what his cap situation is.

Weatherly, Eli Apple, Seth Roberts and Whitehead...

Cap hit of about 13 million this year for a team already extremely handcuffed cap wise. Not good.

Add $13M+ from Short and we wasted more than we paid Matt Kalil.

It’s amazing how we are clearly rebuilding and yet we still manage to waste a Matt Kalil in one year for nothing. Even worse it was for no one that you’d consider a guy we’d want to get experience in a year like this.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
