Our safety core..

Huge ups to these guys who have been playing great. If we can save some money we should look at getting rid of Godfrey this offseason. Between Mitchell, Lester and Mikell that's a very solid trio. I wouldn't mind seeing if we could resign Mikell to a minimal deal. Good veteran presence for our young secondary

 

Mitchell is already a presence at FS---better than he was at SS.  Godfrey is as good as gone. 

 

Lester and Mikell at SS.  Feeling better about the position--we really need a CB or two.

All this godfrey hate??? hopes Dg gets his contract right and he stays would like to see him and Mitchell starting but if lester keeps it up it's going to be very hard for godfrey to have a roster spot next year besides the contract stuff. Guy has improved every year and was looking to have a good season this year, either way the safety position looks solid right now so only thing our d needs now is a Cb or Olb

Will be addressed by Gman. Not sure cutting is the solution yet.

I thought it was a higher cap figure than the 7mil mentioned. Closer to 8. I will see if I can find it. Regardless Godfrey has never produced anywhere near that level as a defensive playmaker.

In my opinion holding onto so-so talent for top dollar was the reason we were in cap hell with Hurney. Hurney seemed to be a nice guy but he fell in love with all of his draft picks.

I would be very surprised if Gettleman doesn't pull the trigger and cut Godfrey to recoup the 5.5 million savings.

    • Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it. 
    • Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker. 
    • We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
