Damione Lewis Cut!

[The Link]

Well since you expect it, it pretty much guarantees its not going to happen.

They never draft who we expect.

Exactly. Watch them go BPA and get another linebacker with our first pick.

I can't believe people have been just fine with cutting kemo and they're freaking out about lewis. I would imagine they're both getting cut. We modified their contracts with those massive roster bonuses so I'd rather cut them than pay them that. I ocassionally felt like we woulc cutt lewis but I figured we would opt to keep him in rotation or pick up more guys after the draft. Now we have to look into drafting a DT which is cool. But It will be hard to get two impact guys at WR and DT.

Kemo will probably get an injury settlement.

I wanna get a OLB early in the draft but this just threw a wrench in my plans:mad:

Freaking out and calling the FO stupid for cutting a 32 year old, one demensional DT that was approaching the expensive backloaded years of his contract is being stupid at best.

Let's all try to be a little more emotionally stable that this.

While still starting Moose at #2.

Actually that's a possibility. Captain is way too small to guard the kind of WRs teams like AZ have.

that'd be fine by me lol. Having 3 elite LB's would be a great strength. LB, WR, and DT all have decent depth in this draft so I wouldn't be suprised in we draft those guys in any sort of order.

When a team cuts the best DT on the team, it will cause some sort of commotion.

nah f**k that, we need to draft another RB

I think a lot of people predicted us getting Stewart (I did), even Otah was in the conversation. We knew we needed a T and power back. Last year we didn't really have any glaring weaknesses aside from the glooming Peppers situation (although depth at DT was the bigger need). Actually they follow a pretty predictable strategy in the early rounds to me.

FA and trades is where they throw you for a loop. Unless our FO believes the solution is in house I could see us getting Atkins in the 2nd. Beast of a replacement.

I don't get it... How was Lewis any different this last season than he was in '08? Why now? It's not like he was making 5 mil a year. What difference does this move make?

He didn't appear to be "over the hill" yet in terms of his ability and I thought he was pretty valuable as a rotation guy myself.

I guess the thinking is that Leonard, Tyler and the guy we just picked up from the Colts are younger and better.

They have a plan, I'm sure. You can't in good conscience have a starting line of Johnson, Leonard, Tyler, Brown.

Plaaaaans.

so apparently he was due alot more than PFT knew about. no wonder he was cut. story on first page

So basically, when something happens at a certain position, like when a player gets cut, that's the last thing that will happen there for the remainder of the year? Got it.

Yeah, it makes sense now. Lots of money saved

mentions he asked for an extension earlier to bypass that money.
