Ian Thomas getting Restructure

He’s not good, but in all reality it’s not the end of the world. Hurst is gone so still need TE depth and can take a mid or late round rookie so can move on from him next year and possibly Tremble too if he develops nicely. We were never going to turn this thing around in one off season.

is he taking a cut or renegotiating the terms moving money to the back end? 

I'm not sure, but unless Morgan is already talking out of both sides of his mouth, he said no kicking the can down the road. If tacking on a year while saving money overall is the move, then I can live with that.

Like mike kaye just talked about on Locked on.  I dont understand pushing the money down the road, just suck it up this year with the cap and get out from under these shitty deals.   Pushing down the road just hinders us when we may need it.

Did we not recently (over the past few years) reduce a contract and then cut the player later?   I know we did, I just can't recall who it was.  I was thinking WR? 

Point:  You can reduce the contract's overall amount, including guaranteed money.  If you make the team, you earn the next contract.  If you do not, the team has less dead cap.  It only works if the player has a "bird in the hand" situation.

I get it, but if Thomas got cut then that left Tremble and Sullivan as our TE room.  Talk about thin! I'm all about Morgan firing shots across these dude's bows, but then there is completely spiting yourself and having your butt flapping in the wind.

I could go to walmart right now and find 5 dudes (and 1 woman) that would be a better TE than thomas

You have to try and field a competitive team or it kills the desire of everyone on the team that is trying to win. You have to get cap room to bring in free agents and sign your draft picks. Should we do a ton of restructuring? Depends for who and how much. Should we restructure Moton somewhat. Yeah and add on a few years and maybe a voidable year to lower the cap since we plan to keep him. Will that hurt us down the road? Not unless Moton falls apart or has a career ending injury. The old one size fits all approach never works. You have to evaluate every situation individually and intelligently.0

You definitely couldn't, but after 6 years of watching Ian Thomas play football I'm willing to try. 

Go get them fitted for pads.

    • 1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me. 
    • Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play. 
    • If we were smart and didn't draft Bryce until we had a better oline and wr's, he would have done much better. However, he would still have been a lower end qb with serious limitations and that would eventually have come out.  I feel like we have a fairly decent offense in place for a new qb now, but probably face a lot of change at GM, DC, and HC.  I feel like Morgan and Evero need to go at the end of the year so the new GM can bring in his own scouts and create a plan for the future (i.e., fire Canales and do not pick up BY's fifth year option at the end of '26).
