I know there are surprise cuts every year, and this may not be a surprise to anyone but would there be a cap advantage to cutting Otah?

Also who has the highest cap hit heading into this year? They would be most likely to restructure..Thomas Davis obviously is going to have to make something happen, but i could see a guy like Gross helping the team out.

Otah is cheap and talented......and this is a contract year for him. Injury or not, he is an ideal player to have on your team for at least the 2012 season.

Davis, Wharton, Baker, Clausen are the obvious and easiest areas to work with. 3 of the 4 should be cut. Davis brought back for peanuts.

Also, Smitty could be extended to help with the cap. Stew's extension will probably be done at some point during the season. We have made it apparent. We will try at all costs not to let our own walk. Worst case, stew would get the franchise tag.

Any of the top money makers could get their contracts restructured.

Baker needs to be a definite cut.

Also, the Olindo signing is really hurting my head at the moment.

I can certainly see Wharton being a surprise cut, that's a good call..Although he gets paid for being able to slide over to LT if needed, and he is a very good Guard. They may feel like they could get better value starting Schwartz and spending the extra money on D.

well, he was the one of the 4 I don't think gets cut. Davis, Clausen, Baker should get the axe. They do need to rework Wharton though and if they can't then I could see them making a move there

Also just think about how much money we have tied up in the RB position. I love both Stewart and Deangelo, but Stewart is absolutely the better every down RB. Deangelo is a great RB though in his own right, and is a homerun threat every time he touches the ball, but he constantly gets stopped at the line. I dont know if there is a way to pay both these guys and keep the defense competitive.

Giving Williams that contract was a mistake.....the problems it created will become more obvious these next 2 seasons.

This is what makes players like Bell so valuable.

Anytime you can drag average or better performance out of someone making the minimum is so important with a capped league.

These players give the leverage and savings to pay the consistent, super talented players.

To have a great team, you need the Bells, so you can afford to keep the Smitty's.

However, finding and developing the Bells is the hard part.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think you should see the OP for pretty big reasons why that is a completely incorrect take given this is a Dave Canales team.

      TMac is a good player and would've been the right pick if our QB could throw a ball farther than 40 yards. For this team's current build (run first, game management passing attack) and the fact that our TE's are laughably bad - the five on our roster have combined for less than 600 yards total, with 3 TDs - Warren should've been the pick.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      If anyone feels like they can't have a conversation about Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career maybe assess why and how these conversations end this way instead of looking to shoot the messenger. Why is it okay to label anyone else on the team or coaching staff trash? Folks on the huddle and across the fanbase on social media have fully thrown anyone and everyone including rookie 8th overall pick TMac fully under the bus multiple times this season. But some of you guys apparently expect a pat on the back because Bryce Young successfully evaded a few potential sacks while Tyler Shough got consumed by our pass rush throughout the game and still had a superior performance. The state of this division is hilariously mediocre at best. Bryce Young is the only player on this roster who is allowed to have the lowest bar possible yet we have invested the most resources in him. It's lunacy.
