I don't know why Gross keeps showing up on these lists. We all spent the year watching our QB get killed in the pocket and bemoaning our offensive line, and now everyone wants to cut our most consistent and important player just because he's slightly worse than the Pro Bowler he usually is.

He was not good this year, he got beat way too much. Plus not having Kalil and having Silatolu as a rookie meant all three position on the left side and middle were suspect. Add that hangman was playing center so we had to replace the right guard with a backup and he was never a great center and what would you expect. With Kalil back next year and Silatolu with a year of experience, and Hangman back at right guard, the line should be better with or without Gross.

Would you compromise and agree that he needs to be moved to the right side? With MAJOR restructuring?

I will be unlike most and actually listen to your response.

But who would we put on the left side? For me, it's not about whether Gross costs too much, it's that I'm terrified of Cam getting killed just because we need cap relief.

It's pretty easy to understand why it would be a topic of discussion:

1) Gross' cap hit this year is over $11 million.

2) The 14th pick last year carried a cap hit of under $2 million.

3) This is a good draft for OT's.

4) We are reportedly $16 million over the cap going into the year.

I'm not necessarily saying he should get cut, but it certainly is a situation worth discussion. And just for the record, he was a 1st team Pro Bowler 1 time in his 10 year career, and went one other time.

I know its been mentioned but I'm too lazy to search...is Gross' deal something we can restructure for cap space or is it a likely release? That's the big question I think that a lot are in the dark about and not necessarily about his play. The line shifting and having him like 55 said alongside Amini and Hang'man wasn't helping so it made him look expendable to many.

I think once Kalil is back...we have an almost solid situation: Gross-Amini-Kalil-_____-Bell until injuries and depth comes into play.

Hang'man is the weakest link by a long shot but I think gets a go by many teams due to his versatility and not necessarily his level of play. If we can restructure Gross, (& correct me if this is off) I think the best route would be to get a starting OG and further depth on the line who we can groom behind Gross for the future.

Don't forget he is one of the few locker room leaders for our offense. At least that was how it's been portrayed for a few seasons now through the local media. That's a big void if he's gone.

Sure, Gross could be restructured/extended. It is just not always a wise idea to do that with an older player.

But let's say Gettleman goes to work and finds that we look to be in good shape in 2015 for example, then maybe he is not as reluctant to do it. Without having a spreadsheet showing all the commitments and anticipated future costs, it is hard for us novices to get a real good handle on it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
