Does that matter if they're still good players though? Jaylon Johnson certainly isn't a bad player.

Roquan Smith is one of the names mentioned in these complaints.

I mean usually when a new GM comes in they assess and move a bunch of current players around and a lot of times good players get moved. That is why its usually a death sentence for a young QB to get drafted by a coach+GM regime one year and then have a new coach and GM the next, like what happened in Chicago. 

Instead of building around the QB in the second year ( first year for the coach and GM ) they went heavy defense. 

Kind of like when the Cardinals had Rosen and then got KK to coach the team and then boom, they were moving on from him. New GMs like to sign and draft their own "guys" and not reward the previous guys guys who happened to get him fired.

The same GM that drafted Josh Rosen is the one that moved on from him. It wasn't a case of a new GM.

It only makes sense to trade away previously acquired quality players if they don't fit a new coach's system. I haven't seen anything confirming that regarding Poles.

I have seen this regarding Sweat...

It gives the Bears a few months of trying to work out a deal and if one is not reached they franchise tag him. Hes not a few month rental.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
