Did they give up on Yetor Gross-Metos to soon?

He is having a decent season with the Niners and is still young. Should they have tried to keep him and see what shakes out?

Could have used him this season definitely. Had promise as a pass rushing DE. Don't know much about his ability to set the edge. At 250, he was pretty light in the drawers. Sort of a Burns type built.

Worth a contract?

He has only played in 7 games and has 15 tackles and 4 sacks on the season, 3 coming last week. He signed a 2 year 18 million dollar contract costing them 10 million this year alone.

DJ Wonnum has played in 3 games has 19 tackles and 3 sacks on the season. We signed him for a 2 year 12 million dollar contract costing us 5.4 million this year alone.

It took him time to see the field but Wonnum is already better than Gross-Matos ever was with us. And he's cheaper.

I am not losing sleep about losing him even if he had a good game last week.

He would always have a flash game here and there, get our hopes up, then go back to the same baseline. New management usually cleans house except for just a few employees who fit the mold they want. It’s part of the culture change. 

Dan is trying to recreate an old school panthers defense as he once knew it, attitude and all… only better. Dave is in charge of the offense. 

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they trade back and go LB in the first round after changing back over to a 4/3. They are GOING to go hard on DE. 

Complete culture change.

I'm pretty sure he has 4 sacks and 3 of them came in one game. 

 

I didn't hate him as a primary run defending Edge, but I'm not mad about letting him walk. He had one good game. 

 

The seahawks paid Matt Flynn because he had two good games. 

I hated him as a run defending Edge. WRs and TEs took his lunch money way too often with crack blocks and reaches. He wasn't good/consistent at setting the Edge. If that has improved, then he'd be much better. Same could be said for Burns.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
