Cut or Keep

Just a fun little game to get us off the devisive coaching topic. I'm using spotrac.com to get my cap figures. Hopefully they are accurate.

Cut:

Ron Edwards- His cap figure is scheduled to go up by about $1m. You can save $2m by cutting him. Maybe he would take a pay cut to stay in the league.

Chris Gamble- Has a $10m cap figure, $7m of which is base salary. You can really save a lot of space by cutting him and he might even come back for less money. That might be a pipe dream as some contender will overpay.

Bruce Cambell- He's making about $540k. Not much but we can't really dpend on him for anything.

Armanti Edwards- I actually like Armanti more than most of you. His cap figure is just a bit high at $750k

Derek Anderson- Technically a FA, he's a luxury we cannot afford.

JJ Jansen- I dunno, maybe he is God's gift to long snappers but he's making more than Greg Hardy.

Geoff Hangartner- Looks like he's a no strings attached $1.5 base salary next year. We can do better with young guys bouncing around the league. Hell don't throw Mike Pollak on IR for a hurt pinkey next season.

Keep:

Jordan Gross- His cap figure is only going up by $200k. In the past he has said he would be glad to restructure to help out the team. If he can swallow his pride and take a 4 year deal for significantly less money then you keep him as a starter transistioning into a reserve. If he won't take a serious pay cut then he moves into the cut category.

Jon Beason- I love Jon and I was going to put him in the "cut" list but I couldn't do it. His cap figure of $9.5m is ugly, he will need to get it down to a more reasonable number or face the cut list as well.

Kealoha Pilares- I just really liked his versatility. He can be the all purpose guy for our offense if he stays healthy

Jason Phillips- I believe he's a RFA. He's been a great guy to plug in when injuries mount.

Kenny Onatalu- If this guy stays healthy he can help us

Deangelo Williams- If I'm reading this correctly his capfigure actually goes down by $500k in 2013. The ideal to cut him would be before the 2014 season with a June 1st cut ala Travelle Wharton. Trading him to a contendor is also an option but he can help us win.

Trade: James Anderson- If you can Shed JA's deal for a 4th or 5th round pick I would take it in a heartbeat. He's a very nice player but that salary will eat up space if we keep Beason.

Watch List:

Ryan Kalil- Ryan's cap figure is about to jump up big time. If he shows any signs of regression from injury we've got to restructure or release at some point.

Sort of agree. I think everyone but James Anderson and DeAngelo Williams should be kept. You need to try as hard as possible to trade them to free up some cap space and get some additional draft picks. Restructure as many contracts as you can - if we have guys willing to shift dollars and create depth, do it. I rather have Hangartner as a backup RG/LG/C then waste a draft pick on a backup. Hangy's only making 800K anyway.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
