Troy will probably go on IR tomorrow when the team makes their cut to 85 

--Waived, he hasn't earned the right to IR.  If he were a day 1 or day2 selection, maybe.  While I wanted a CB where he was drafted in the 4th round, Pride himself was not high on my radar.

He was a 2020 draft choice and has 3 years remaining on a 4 year contract.  He’s not some tryout player.  He will go on IR

Day 3 draftees are barely more valuable than UDFAs.  If the staff comes across someone that can come in and have an impact now, a 4th round draftee means little.

He’s still under contract for 3 more seasons with 2 million in dead money if we waive him.  Putting him on IR frees up a roster spot and costs us only his 974k salary.  Makes zero sense to waive him

Actually he only counts about 200k versus the cap, but frees up nearly 800k.  Peanuts if we find a suitable replacement.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
