Being that i'm not a salary cap guru I really can't say. Unless you want to throw all salary cap ramafications of cut players aside and just cut willy-nilly?

Good point. While there isn't a salary cap for 2010, it isn't like you can just cut wildly without having ramifications down the road when presumably there will be a cap.

If this were Madden though instead of reality then you could play along and not worry about it.

just cutting willy-nilly I would say...

-Jake - thanks for the good times but you aren't a backup or competition

-Moose- thanks for the good times but in another year you will be too painful to watch and we don't need a TE playing WR

-Jarrett - thanks for the good times and now go to an offense that will let you play like a fairy yet take advantage of your hands.

*Charles Godfrey - congrats on a stong finish and noticeable improvement....as you were on pace to make the list but can stay....but I still felt the need to call you out based on 85% of your career starts being so pathetic (but you are young).

Perfect example of why you need salary money and contract info to make decisions. All of these sound good on the surface but you wouldn't make any of these moves.

Moose is not under contract for 2010 so you can't cut what you don't have.

Jake gets paid whether he plays or not. No need to cut him until the ned of prseason or camp if at all.

Jarrett and Godfrey are on their rookie contracts and are very cheap. You wouldn't cut either unless you thought they weren't good enough to be 3rd or 4th in depth. And IMO they are clear good enough for a roster spot.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
