6 Dts And 5 (I'm Guessing) Spots:


CardiacCats

Recommended Posts

Ron Edwards

Terrell McClain

Sione Fua

Frank Kearse

Jason Shirley

Andre Neblett

Who gets cut? The first 3 are probably locks but meanwhile the last 3 showed way more production in the limited action they got last season. I have no idea which one is the odd man out, if we're going off nothing but play last year it's Fua but it's unfair to give up on him yet. I say Kearse and Neblett but I like the Shirlister too... Ugh

Def dont want to get rid of Shirley or Kearse. Dudes are massive and still young with decent upside.

Id say cut Fua or Neblett.

I don't know if they can cut neblett...but you can't cut either of the third round picks after one year which would be dumb. Coaching staff is gonna have a hard time deciding who to keep

Yea but it would be ignorant to cut the better player (now and future) just because one was a 3rd round pick.

Ya I know...but If they cut fua and he turns out to be a good player on another team and kearse Shirley and neblett flame out, then we look stupid for giving up on a third round pick after one year.

You have to make the best decision with the facts at hand. All the DT's are young expect Edwards.

Kearse and Shirley were both more productive than Fua and both have more upside.

You cant cut better players for the fear of the lesser player being good in the future.

I'm with you man, I'm just coming at it from the FOs point of view. I dont know if they'll give up on them after one year. I hope they keep kearse Shirley and neblett....Ron Rivera seems like a guy who only really has loyalty to players who perform.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
