Okay, someone will be a June 1st cut

There is no way in hell, that we can sign our bargain FA's, and our draft class which leads me to believe either someone will have to restructure, or have to get cut. Michael Brockers who was chosen with the 14th pick last year accounted for 1.7 million of the cap, with what we have left...I don't see us fitting everyone into the measly 3 million.

But who will it be?

Yup. I'm not cap expert but based on the numbers I've seen, cutting Williams or Beason right now actually costs us more money than keeping them. And designating them as early June 1 cuts does nothing until June anyway, so might as well keep them on the roster and see how the draft and cuts shake out. We may wait until June to actually cross that bridge.

Trading someone because of a stupid-money contract someone gave him, because you need to get under the cap or because you need to get spending under control gets you teams offering a 4th or 5th.

Trading someone because they no longer fit your offensive scheme or you've found his replacement gets you a 3rd or 4th.

Gross does not want to take a cut....

Cut Garry Williams and Hangartner.................about 3.2 million (that moves us to about 6.4 million below cap)

Re-sign Munnerlyn.....................1 million in 2013

You have $5 million, maybe more.

If Gross does not re-sign, pay him in 2013 and cut him in 2014.

Cut DWill on June 1 (Anderson already is) if necessary to sign picks

Williams wouldn't be a June 1 cut just as a means to create room like say Gamble was...more reasons to

Gross will restructure. Give it time. Gettlemen may also have another idea or two up his sleeve. All the draft picks will fit and we will bring back at least one out of munnerlyn and dwan.

Id assume if this was just a restructure it would already be done. It's already known he was asked to take a pay cut. Id say thats probably what we're waiting on, as the market begins to thin.

Restructuring only hurts us down the road, and Gettleman has been pretty apparently trying to address the issue this year and in the future.

You could argue Gross wouldn't want a simple restructure because he knows it may lower his future job security, but that isn't ideal because it only hurts us more when the time would come to cut him.

We're waiting on him to decide on a pay cut.

      And its two fold from there, we knew we were going to stink next year, we knew he wasnt going to play right away and we knew the 2025 rb class was absolutely fuging loaded.  So none of it made a lick of sense

      Here for the lively debate but don’t devolve into “you don’t know the game” stuff. ..with that PSA over, I lean more to the it was a mistake camp myself.  It wasn’t a good move. Many people reference Frazier but it is was a few guys. I thought Sainristil would have been perfect for us. Although I will say, I don’t mind taking RBs high depending on the talent. It was him being injured and his talent relative to the other RBs in his tier that makes me less than thrilled about it.

      If you're insinuating Bryce Young is the only player people here have been critical of we don't even need to discuss any further because folks who have actually seen the threads knows that's factually incorrect. That's the issue and where the disconnect begins. You perceive an honest assessment and basic straightforward acknowledgment that while we can like the player on a personal level ultimately the pick was a mistake given what we know now and the other prospects that were available. None of that is the personal slight you perceive it to be. Honest discussion is not doom and gloom. If someone wants to reject the reality is front of them that is certainly their prerogative. What I'm trying to tell you is you are never going to find the dialogue you seek as long as this is your basis for the framework of discussion about our team. I'm not asking you to leave. I do believe you bring legitimate value here. I'm simply offering you an alternative if you insist on rolling out this same approach when the season rolls out. Because although optimism is high right now sooner or later we might hit a bump in the road. And conversations will likely get the opposite of glowing positivity. But that's alright. That's the rollercoaster of sports fandom. We'll survive.
