I think Ian Thomas and Von Bell are coming up this week

Bell played well and with woods, its the only position on the roster thats average-above in play/talent. 

Wouldnt surpise me, safety across the league are getting cut. Most teams always try to save $$$ there. 

Thomas should have never been re-signed in the first place. Huddle was right.

Not a dawg so he's gone.

Morgan proceeds to sign an Australian Shepherd and Goldendoodle to 3 year deals.

This is where I don't understand cap space. If we wait the savings appear much larger. Is the roster bonus money that big of a deal just because of the timing (prior to the big FA rush)?

From what someone said earlier in Elonworld.. They can designate moves as post 6/1 when the season starts and the moves are official..

Ian Thomas is the new Brenton Bersin in that he somehow manages to stay on the team year after year of being terrible. 

If Dan doesn't cut him to save $6 million in cap, then I'll fully believe that Ian has dirt on either Dave or Nicole.

Just let it sink in that Ian had 56 TOTAL YARDS RECEIVING YARDS LAST YEAR. 

Bersin was WAY better than Ian Thomas.

This encourages me that the Morgan/Canales combo can atleast recognize the simple talent evaluation. I literally watched YouTube highlights when we signed Hurst and Sanders and could tell they weren't that good. Yet the guys getting pain MILLIONS of dollars couldn't smdh

It at least saves the roster bonus for this year.

Gotta love Fitterer, the gift that keeps giving. We basically paid Thomas and Hurst over $16M for 2023. Basically, we had TE 2 (Hockenson) cost for TE 32 play. SMH.

Not surprising but I hope he's okay.  He had some kind of amnesia after a concussion this year.

He forgot how to catch, but that was before the concussion.

Probably best for both parties ..

And I keep forgetting we have Jordan Matthew's at TE

Yall were so happy when we signed him lol

I'm not stressing about Ian... at this point.  There was no rush to offload him right away. He isn't due a roster bonus so he should be a down the line release.

It was the first attempt to roll with someone other than Thomas.  Yes, many of us were happy.  Hurst got cut and still was better than Thomas.

I hated the contract, TBH. 

Same with Sanders.

Like @kungfoodude, I didn’t like spending so much money on guys who were never good or a guy not close in talent that we signed to replace CMC for basically the same amount of “new” money.

We put lipstick on a pig in the offseason. CMC and Moore would have cost us around $30M in 2023. We spent that $30M on Sanders, Hurst, Chark and Houston in 2023 and well, we got poo for it and poo in trade value.
