Do we cut Godfrey and let him test the market?

[SauceBoss]

I guarantee he goes nowhere and we get him back for cheap and free up some cap space. if for some reason we don't get him back, almost anyone is better.

But we will complain when he leaves and say the season is lost.

I thought he would've been cut long ago.  I've stopped even trying to figure out what the hell Gettleman is doing.  A whole lot of head scratching moves and non-moves so far, but the one obvious one hasn't been made.  I don't even know anymore.

[Catalyst]

Yeah, this baffles me. I thought he'd be cut for sure, but he wasn't even asked to restructure as far as we know. Odd.

No, we complain when a guy outplays him by a large margin and then we let him walk without even making an offer while Godfrey's sorry ass is still here making what Mitchell should have been.  That's when we complain.

If we cut Godfrey, I doubt we use his money to sign another safety. Also no telling how much Mitchell wanted. At the end of the day, no way he was going to stay with us considering what Steelers gave him.

I'm convinced Godfrey performs his assignments flawlessly from a coaching/evaluation standpoint.  If you think about it he really never does completely fug up, he's just unspectacular.

 

Still though his price tag is a bit too hefty, especially coming off an injury.  I'd think we'll see him take a flat pay cut, or get cut after the market dies down a bit and we compete to sign him back.

we should cut him... and then I don't care what he does

How much he wanted?  He signed for 5 mil per.  LOL.  That is a very reasonable price for a quality starting safety.  The impression I've got is that we never even made an offer.

 

Godfrey's cap # for 2014 is 7.1 mil. 

 

We supposedly cut Smitty for an identical cap number.  Mitchell signed for 5 mil.  There's no guarantee Godfrey will even be ready to suit up and blow coverages and miss tackles like he usually does come September.  And yet, we're going to pay him 7.1 mil next season?

 

Yup, strictly business for Gettlemahpantsuptomahtits.

 

 

[Mother Grabber]

how is Godfrey's salary Gettleman's fault?

[TylerDurden]

It's not.  But, him still being here and Mitchell not, is.

[WOW!!]

I don't see how we can cut him now. Mitchell is gone and they are bringing in srucbs like Harper in.

I don't think there's a better safety we can bring in at this point.

Our best option is asking Godfrey to restructure or take a pay cut.

[LinvilleGorge]

We found two better safeties than Godfrey on the scrap heap last year.  Godfrey simply isn't very good.  He's truly horrible at $7.1M.

[BelgianPantherFan]

I can only see one reason why Godfrey is still not being cut: they are talking about a serious paycut, so Gettleman can use that second 1th June Cut on someone else. No way Godfrey stays here under the same contract.
