Smh, we would have 12 million in cap space right now had we not gave Dwill that contract, BRB gonna go cry.

The fact that he doesn't know that we're under the cap after cutting Gamble should let you know that he really didn't do a ton of research for this piece. I don't think we'll be big spenders in FA but we'll definitely be bargain shoppers.

There's no way for us to stand pat and expect improvement.

Says as of Friday. Gamble was cut Friday. Probably had not cleared league as of then.

There are a handful of players that can restructure their contracts which would help the team far more than their play on the field. I really hope they realize this before we go into another failed season.

Oh ok, missed that part. Thanks for the heads up.

Don Gettleman is cleaning it up.

Slowly, but he is cleaning it up.

Gettleman walking into Hurneyville after these last 4 years must be like him picking up a freshly dropped pile of warm and steamy dog poop and smearing it all over his own face and then licking his fingers.

I doubt he see's it as that bad.

Our biggest issue from a FO perspective has to be lack of flexibility. It's 100% Richardson's fault we are in the mess, he let his friendship thoughts affect his business thoughts. OR Hurndog was the best salesman ever. Regardless if Don Gettleman can fix this mess in the next couple of years AND get this team improving from a talent standpoint he will have made quite a name for himself.

His lauded skills are exactly what we needed.

• Can find cheap talent
  
• Judges talent by tape not personal feelings
  
• No Nonsense grinder
  
• Football guy.
  
• Comes from Superbowl winning franchises.
  

If Gettleman has the ability to tell Jerry Richardson "I understand he is a nice guy, but he doesn't help us win and its time to cut him loose" then he will be miles ahead of Hurney already.

Gettlemen said that he is going to build the roster from the bottom up. That is easy to say, and it takes time. However, we take late rounders and developmental players and make them play right away. When they fail, they are abandoned. When you play a player too soon and replace him with a draft pick the following year, he never develops. The reason you had to play him too soon was due to the fact that positions were neglected here for years (CB, DT, WR, etc). Examples?

Josh Norman: a fifth rounder, he should never have been asked to start. Now we want to draft a CB or two.

SIone Fua/Terrell McClain: They suck!!! How many third round DTs in the this league start and do well as rookies? The position has been neglected since we drafted Jenkins..

David Gettis/Joe Adams: Both have been rumored to be in Rivera's dog house. Instead of putting them in a dog house, coach them up, Ron.

Jimmy Clausen: Yes, the man you all love to hate. A second round pick is put behind a scrub (3 starters out) line with no credible TE, 2 rookie WRs, and Jeff Davidson as his offensive coordinator. What could possibly go wrong?

Had we developed our late round picks properly, they might be groomed to take over now. Instead, we threw them into the fire too soon and may have ruined them. We have led the league in IR players, so we should be building on the experience our depth has.

Gettlemen does not have money to put star players in every area of need, but he will create enough to compete at every position. Look for a RG, DT, and CB in free agency.
