...so, too, will about a third to a half of this roster. Are you all ready for that?

So long, Hoov. So long, Moose. So long, Pep and Smitty. So long, Diggs and Harris and Kasay.

New coach is going to want his guys, and usher out the expensive guys or guys who are long in the tooth. He'll want to build on Beason, Davis, and Gamble on defense and Gross, Kalil, Otah and the two running backs on offense.

I'm aware of it, and aware that next season would likely become a rebuilding year and, as such, would suck.

I'm prepared for that.

Smitty and Harris aren't going anywhere.

Kasay, Hoov, and Moose it's time.

Peppers, just get out.

I'm good with that.

i anticipate change....lots of it and i don't have a problem with this.

we will likely lose next year more than we will win. it will be acceptable losses, though. in a rebuilding you expect that.

i anticipate a complete change in the coaching staff...especially on offense and special teams. defense may also get yet another overhaul.

there will be player turnover as well as the new coach tries to make it his team.

i fully expect to see these guys gone: hoover, vincent, jake, mccown, moore, moose, jarrett, kasay, lloyd, peppers, lewis, diggs, landon johnson, anderson, kemo,

i wouldn't be surprised to see smith gone and traded for picks. there could be a couple others as well.

some moves will look like shear brilliance. other moves will be head scratchers. some will piss the majority of fans off.

in the end, though, it will be a team that we will like. there will be excitement over it and we'll have another shot at the playoffs in a couple years.

i'd be surprised if the new coach is anything like fox in personality. it will be someone with energy and hype. it will be someone that will have to change the dynamic of the team and get them energized.

camp with the new coach will be fun to watch. give the players time away from this season and all the turmoil and turnover and a new reason for optimism about the future.

yeah, the team will look different and it will take some getting used to but i'm ready for it. it isn't like it hasn't happened before and it's not like 3/4 of the league hasn't gone through this in the past 3 years. it happens when you have an organization that wants to put out a better product than what they have been. it's what happens when you have an organization that wants to win.

i just hope it happens. we'll know soon enough.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
