Lucas might get traded

Nathan (Cary, NC): Lucas being traded? Any idea to whom?

Pat Yasinskas: (3:44 PM ET ) Can't say. Just saying there are some rumblings. Might not happen and they may end up just cutting him. But keep an eye between now and Thursday night.

Profound, boy has this guy got the inside track... LOL!

What are the salary impacts whether we trade or cut him. I know we will be on the hook for the rest of the guaranteed part of his salary in either case. But couldn't we use a June 1st cut for him and stretch his cap hit over 2 years? Or has that gone away, given that next year is an uncapped year, like everything else?

    • I agree. All of these guys, and let's face it our coaches before Canales, too, were selected to be head coaches not because they had developed weak or underperforming teams during their previous stops. As a matter of fact, the only way to really move up in coaching is to start with a bad program, correct it, win and then move up when a vacancy arrives at yet another bad program, then do it again. Sometimes they are the HC, sometimes an assistant, whatever. But you've got to have some patience. And yeah, there's the Peter principal at work, too, sometimes. That states that people will eventually be promoted to their level of incompetence. It kind of waves its hand at the idea that sometimes people learn a lot from mistakes and grow.  It's really hard to win at this level of competition, this is the HC final boss level for football, from Peewee Leagues and Pop Warner, through junior high, high school, college and pro levels. It's tough and there are only 32 spots per year for the gigs (give or take a couple of mid-season replacement jobs).  We have to remember that Tomlin, Cowher and Knoll all inherited collapsed teams. And each rebuilt them and had them eventually wear out and fall down, too (okay, Tomlin is still holding strong, but entropy eventually catches everyone), but each took a time commitment and good management to rebuild. I wish we could snag onto the winning formula. But you're very right that we can't just change every two years and expect anything but the same restart difficulties each time.
    • Well, I think that's basically a Bryce thing. Dalton is not gonna be a significant media threat to him and is also a very capable backup. So does bringing in a Daniel Jones make a lot of sense if you are just gonna hear the chants for him every time Bryce struggles? IMO, it has been they are sold on Bryce and don't want a threat to his development. Dalton isn't a threat.
