I hope they can work it out soo they can all stay

Robinson would be a mistake to cut, IMO. He has actually been solid.

I expect we will extend him on a reasonable 2 year extension and spread it out.

Robison needs to stay; everyone else meh….although I do like tremble we can improve

You all are this high on Robinson? I have felt like he gets mauled in the run game for such a big guy. Certainly not worth 9.5 mil per.

Tremble is the only guy I would try to work out a deal with. Might be our best tight end currently (not saying a lot, but he has made plays)

He doesn't. He is also one of the extremely few effective pass rushers.

Tremble is as JAG as JAG gets.

Paying Tommy Tremble ANYTHING would be too much. 

I'd rather buy one of those motorized blocking dummies and line it up at TE on Sundays.

A’Shawn is alright with me. Asset.  
I suspect they could renegotiate with Tremble but I probably wouldn’t say that if Sanders had been decent.  We would be thin.

Evans is very cheap and arguably as good as Tremble. Sanders is a bust. 

If Tremble is very cheap, no issue with a resigning. Still need an upgrade, though.

Just don’t downgrade. I am not fan attached to Tremble but we are thin in that room now.

Agreed. But, the cost to upgrade should be very small.

He’s okay….but that’s still a pretty high cap number. He only had 2.5 sacks, and  was 35th in hurries. He’s good at batted passes at 3 which is 13th best but all his stats were basically down year over year. He’s still good at run defense, and I honestly think he’s a good locker room presence, and would be happy with a 1 year extension at a lower salary to level it out. I also would not be surprised if they decide they could use that 9.5 million to upgrade another position group, or use that money to help get a higher profile FA like a top tier LB, OLB, DE, or speed WR

Look, am I gonna be super upset at him being cut? No. But he has been one of the extremely few solid players on our front seven. That ain't worth a raise or a long term extension but it's probably worth not tinkering with when there are significantly more overpaid players on that side of the ball(Wharton, Brown, etc).
