Who's Safe?

[davos]

edited the op after further consideration and reading through das opinions

[koolkatluke]

I didn't have the time to check out contracts but from what I knew on the spot

Is this a contract year for him?

I think so either this year or next year.

[Guest Tom Cat]

If we bring in a gm with any sort of pro level experience he is going to clean house- wouldnt be suprised if only the players still on their initial rookie contracts who actually have contributed are kept around. Of course I dont know the ins and outs of how easy it is to dump contracts like CJ s and de lo s so who knows?

[Argus Plexus]

Hopefully now we won't have asinine contracts. Granted, they were for players we all love. But it has killed this team.

[FugginPoo]

Anyone notice that all the Players really upset with Hurney firing today are the same players Hurney gave Idiotic Contracts to?

[TheMaulClaw]

Safe:

Kuechly, Alexander, James Anderson, JStew, Olsen, Byron Bell

More then likely safe:

Lafell, Norman, Gross(one more year), Kalil, Smitty (unless he retires), Cam (even though he needs comp)

Grey area:

Beason, Gamble, CJ, Godfrey, Dwill, all DTs, all other OL

I like how you put it...Smitty though just seems like a question mark for me right now as much as I hate to admit it. He's probably been through his last regime change with this organization if he really wants a title before he retires and I don't blame him.

With Gross, I just don't know. He's in a weird position where I think writers and the media actually think he is better than he actually plays. He could stay but its not a for sure safe.

And with Beason, he'll be 28 next season (not that old) but has a lot more ground to cover in his road to recovery. I just don't know how a new staff/fo would handle him.

And if there is an opportune time to clear house and go full 3-4 do it with a new regime. I think bringing in a Keith Butler type at HC with a LeBeau 3-4 would be exactly what we need to step it up against the offenses we have to constantly play in the NFC. We've been remabling about a 3-4 for so long, let's just finally do it and do a reboot 2.0. West Coast-hybrid offense and a 3-4 defense. I'm not saying do what the Redskins have done for RG3, but let's do what the Redskins have done for RG3 :)

I dunno anymore

Yeah Smitty may retire who knows.

The situation with Gross is exactly why we need to draft a LT in round 1. Gross can groom him for a year. Gross right now while highly knowledgeable at the position doesn't posses the physical tools anymore I'm afraid. He's never been overrated until now when his age is starting to catch up. I really wish Otah would have worked out.

No one is safe you play better than the next guy or you get replaced.

[TheMaulClaw]

No one is safe you play better than the next guy or you get replaced.

Unless you Cam Newton then apparently you shouldn't have to compete with anyone.

[Squirrel]

Really don't see cam being safe.

[Tarheels23]

If I was JR, below would be the list of players the GM can't touch.

Cam

Stew

Smitty

Luke

Thomas Davis
