I can't see them cutting Fua after bringing him back damn that would suck for him.

 

I can.

 

Happens all the time.  Teams manipulate the roster based on where they might need extra depth for a week or two, then cut a guy loose when it's no longer needed.

 

He might stick around if there are more injury issues, but if the DL stays healthy and another spot is hurting, he could easily be gone again.

 

That's the NFL.

 

Don't feel too sorry for him though.  He'll make in a week what some folks make in a year.

We have 3 centers on the roster, the last of which was kept because Byers was hurt. As much as I'd love to see Fua cut... Folkerts is likely the guy.

 

To be fair though, they already had that option when they set the final roster and chose Folkerts.

 

And although he will adjust for depth purposes, Gettleman has said he doesn't go by set numbers in position groups.  He chooses one guy over another based on who's the better player.

 

In that regard, I'd be in favor of signing Harewood and dumping Fua.

I dunno, Jay, but we killed their first team OGs and he was fighting for a second-team job----and lost. 

 

 

Granted, how linemen perform against our line isn't really the best measuring stick. Our D-Line has literally destroyed every line it's faced this year. That includes quite a few pro-bowl and all-pro linemen.

Star tossed Kelechi Osemele aside like he was nothing, but I'd definitely take Osemele on our roster any day.

 

If you were watching a Thanksgiving matchup between the Cowboys and Packers some years back, you got to see a young right tackle getting tossed around like a rag doll by the great Reggie White.  At the time, White's left arm was injured, so he did all the tossing on one arm.  Made that poor kid look terrible. 

 

Lotsa people might have thought that young fella was destined for the scrap heap after that.  As it turns out though, Larry Allen switched back to his natural guard position and had a pretty good career.

I hope that trend continues.  Of all the things I saw Sunday, Starlite was a beast.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
