Cutting the idiot contracts we signed. 

I'm curious which other contracts you would put on that list.

He played pretty well on those one year deals, not fantastic but fairly well. 

He did not play fairly well last year. 

I really didn't see much difference. Maybe your expectations changed due to the contract?

does anyone else just always combine tre boston and charles godfrey into one player

Didn't we already release Short a couple of days ago?

I never saw anything on if that designation was being applied to him.

He was just a straight up release.  No June 1st designation for Short.

I was assuming we designated it a post-June 1st. I just read that we didn't.

No, that was the discussion at the time. It seemed to be making cap space available immediately, versus having more space available next offseason. 

That was why the speculation about a Moton deal being imminent popped up. The only logical reason to cut him prior to June 2nd was to free up immediate money to spend.

[Mr. Scot]

As I recall, Fitterer was meeting with all the scouting staff for a two week period to get our offseason plans started.

Gotta figure these recent transactions are probably coming out of those meetings.

If I remember right, they started using him closer to the box which was not the role he was meant for when signed. 

If that's what they're looking for from our FS Chinn might be the new starting S.

Which I'm not against.

yes haha

Also--I felt like this was quite expected and I think there's a tad oversight with how much Rhule & co. like Burris.  Burris is a Rhule signing and the secondary got noticeably better when he came back from his mid-season injury.

I feel like Burris & Chinn is a solid situation.  CB1 is the real need.

We should have never let Bradbury walk out the door.

[Mr. Scot]

Seeing word from Jeremy Fowler that Stephen Weatherly and Mike Palardy have gotten the same news.

Apparently, it's cut down day.

no but I did always combine Godfrey and Sherrod Martin into one player in my mind

There was a safety that everybody really liked at the Senior Bowl, a guy that Matt Rhule mentioned specifically when he was asked about draftable players.

Naturally, I've forgotten his name

Why did they do it Pre June 1st? That part makes no sense. 800K in cap savings + 5M in dead money vs 3.5M in cap savings and only 2.6 in dead money.

I mean, he was pricey but we should have targeted a much better signing than the scrap heap. 

But what that tells me we didn't see a guy we wanted to commit long term money to in FA and weren't in position during the draft (I realllly wanted Kristian Fulton R2 but am muuuch happier w/ Chinn).  It's circumstantial and CB & LB were the positions that just didn't present good upgrades after we found what we wanted during the draft.
