I don’t think it’s anyway you can cut any D linemen/edge rusher on an already weak unit, unless you have their replacement in the bag. A guy like AShawn was our best interior lineman on a piss poor unit that five mill is cheap.

Agreed.

Wonnum, Clowney, and Robinson were only impact lineman from last season. Not sure how you justify cutting them. There is no depth behind them. They should be in line for restructures. With Brown returning they should all improve.

Tuttle on the other hand provides no value. Chalk him up as another free argent bust. He needs to go.

We need to add to the line via draft since we already have enough veterans.

Yeah, they seemed to quit up front--going through the motions.  I think A. Robinson could have been impacted by poor Tuttle/Ray play as well--they def. need to go.  But saving 5.5m and losing a DE with his experience and ability is a bit stupid.  We are likely to draft a NT/DT and a DE, so rookies will need help.  I also think A Rob will be better with Brown in the rotation.

Looks like it saves 7.5 if done after June 1.

He might play significantly better with better players around him.  But I thought he was pretty awful last year regardless of the 5.5 sacks he tallied.  If they want to keep Clowney and Wonnum, I could see him as a likely target for cap relief.  I would imagine they are planning in bringing in some fresh faces on that line and not running it back.

Yeah, I think they overhaul that unit or at least attempt to. Since they didn't fire the man in charge, they're going to blame others, including players, and cut them.

Right. Shy Tuttle seems like an easy cut but we have no current replacement

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
