I for one am loving it. Out with the old, in with the new. Tons of opportunity for younger guys now to step it up and become stars. This year the training camp will have more energy and focus because for the first time in a long time, there appears to be real open competition. All of our younger guys just called their trainers to get their asses in optimum shape early.

Lovin it.

Sign me up as being optimistic about this season and liking the moves.

We still need a vet DE and a WR out of FA. This will probably come after the draft when teams release players to make room for draft picks.

There will be alot of fire and excitement next season. As well, we are setting outselves up nicely for the long-term future.

Loving it, but also nervous. There are young guys who need to step up and be leaders quick. Guys like Chris Harris, Jon Beason, Deangelo Williams, etc. Matt Moore can be thrown in there as well. It's going to be an interesting year.

I think Fox might have more job security than we realize. Why would you cut a bunch of veterans you've won games with in the final year of your contract? Risky, to say the least. I think Fox will be around at least a couple more years.

I guess I have to get on board here. I have always had a ton of faith in Richardson and his vision for the future. Despite the fact that I have no idea where this is going or what the plan is... I fully believe that there is a plan. Jerry and the FO have the teams overall best interest in mind.

I have faith.

I agree with the nervous part. This is a risky move, but the right one.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
