Zach Cunningham Released

Recommended Posts

Former Texans linebacker who used to be one of the more highly regarded linebackers in the league. He’s only 26 and would be cheap to claim if we could get him. We desperately need some depth at LB honestly could move Carter back to a backup role where he’s more suited.

Cunningham will go on waivers where teams, in order of worst record to best, will have the opportunity to claim him at the rate of his current contract; $900,000 for the remainder of the season. It is likely that he goes unclaimed and becomes an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any team he chooses. Houston is on the hook for a roughly $12.8 million salary cap hit next season as a result of the move.

If that were Rhule he would have talked about how great Cunningham is playing and how he’s really been stepping up to help the team in this tough situation only to cut his ass the next day.

Just two bad coaches coaching bad teams who probably should have never been hired as head coaches to begin with. 
 

Gotta love the NFL.

My thought process every time I see one of these stories...

"Wow, a good player is available!" 😀

"Wait...why?" 🤔

Lately my thought process is...

"A potentially great player was troubled on a bad, rudderless team? If he comes to a tight ship like the Panthers I bet he'll have the chance to shine!" 😀

"Oh, wait." 😐

    • Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.
    • You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.
    • Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
