Ok this just dawned on me...

It took 5 days to realize the possibility of guys especially with big contracts being moved?

[GRWatcher]

It'll certainly happen, if they're seen as expendable by the new GM. As long as they show their worth, they'll be fine. It's been said a million times, but nobody's job is safe. They have to earn it from here on out. No more free pass just because Hurney likes you. This is a good thing.

I agree that everyone needs to earn their job and few are "safe" now. But I don't think Hurney signed players just because he liked them. That's Madden Football talk. Give the man some credit. Talking about replacing so many good players is Madden Football talk too.

A player isn't expendable until you have a replacement that is at least as good as that player. There are 31 other teams that will more than likely keep their starters, and it is those starters that most of you are comparing our players to. So look at the 3rd string (because all teams know depth is important and that is their 2nd string players) of any of the other 31 teams. That's where the comparisons should be. And even when there are UFA's, there are 31 other teams possibly bidding for their services.

Example: Alexander is better than Johnson, so cut Johnson. Okay. Now who is going to rotate in for Alexander? And there you go, potentially moving further down the skill ladder with each roster move. You can't replace everyone with a FA or a draft pick that is better.

Age has nothing to do with it. How many plays the OC has in his book for you to carry the ball has nothing to do with it. I'm 100% positive that DeAngelo didn't say to Chud, give me the ball only twice against Dallas, that's all I can handle. Being on IR has nothing to do with it unless it's recurring and Davis has shown us that that isn't necessarily true.

And we're not talking about the cap hit everyone of these moves will make.

The new GM will evaluate everyone. There are reasons certain players start and others don't.

I'm not sure, as none of you are, that the team next year will look like today's team or even be close to it. Heck, he may clean out the FO too.

In hindsight they should have gotten rid of Hurney and purged the roster when we drafted Cam, starting fresh with a new GM and roster is what this organization needed.

[Dilated_chakra]

We all know it's coming. Some of us are sure what it will mean. DLo is gone, Beason is gone, Smith is gone, Johnson is gone, Gross is gone, and 2 years from now, we will be better for it.

Cam will win a Super Bowl in Carolina.

PFFFF, yeah lets cut our probowl left tackle and rivera has a hardon for linebackers so lets cut our 3 time pro bowler and lets cut our probowl #1 wideout oh yeah and our best DE ...stop smoking you idiot

Troof. They could have even changed uni's to pacify the folks that care about that kind of thing. A whole different look and feel would have brought some attention to the team and helped invigorate the fan base.

Have you watched ONE, and I mean ONE minute of tape on J Gross this year? Go do that and get back with me.

Beason will never play in the middle on this team again...a better player has arrived and we can't afford his price tag playing on the corners.

If we can get a 3rd or 4th rounder for Smith both parties will be happy and better off.

Our best DE is the tallest midget. 3.5 sacks in 6 games, and they all came in one game.

Last time I "smoked" was 1990. I believe my head has cleared since then.

Just stating what I believe bra. You don't see me personally attacking your views.

Might as well get used to me...I ain't going nowhere.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Man, the huddle has become nothing but trolls and snide remark making assholes. I remember when you could make a thread and have a decent discussion.

"lulz you smart 1 aren't you?"

"Ya think?"

Really guys? really? Good god. If you don't want to discuss this, no matter how late it is, then get the fug out. That simple.

Also Lightsout, So you're saying that Amini is to blame for Gross' incompetence, Ok I got ya man. Thanks for clearing that up. Last time I checked a left tackle takes on the pass rusher. The fug do you expect out of the front 4? Every down is a pass rushing down...They aren't blitzing every down either. Which is TOTALLY different.

[Keep Pounding]

Amini is a rookie, I think he will get better, most of yall were ready to cast Bell aside last year and during this offseason. I am not a talent advisor, but I believe Amini and Bell will be apart of our Oline for many years to come. Add in Kalil we have a decent Oline, Gross might be struggling, but when your OC is keeps calling passing plays that take hours to develop downfield your oline is going to struggle.

I dont care about CJ, but our oline sucks enough. We need Gross, We need smith. I do like kuechly over Beason so I also hear you there. We still need depth though so I would keep Beason and restructure his contract.

A proven player like Beason will not be easily replaced. He's not only a phenomenal player when healthy, he's the leader of the defense. Getting him to restructure his contract would be huge. I think he'd admit that he's been payed handsomely for the past 2 seasons for very little actual play. I think he'll also agree that Keek is making plays that he can't make - now and maybe ever. Keek is special. I wasn't high on drafting him, I thought we needed a DB, but I had no idea this kid was this fast. Some people have combine speed, Keek has game speed like not many MLBs I've ever seen.
