Dumb move...was probably our best interior pass rusher....yet we never used him there. First sign the front office is throwing in the towel....only losers quit mid season....way to set the standard Jerry. And even worse...we get a 6th. Might as well have given him away.

We were giving him away after 9 more games anyway. No way we would resign him at his age and lack of production.

Im sure they are the last to want to throw in the towel.

But they know Philly is about to crush us by about 30 on prime time TV

Its not quitting, its accepting the reality of the situation.

We are probably not going to win another game this season, that is just reality. We have lost most of our offensive line and we are now on our 3rd string QB who is a 7th round rookie. Its over, season done, accept it and start planning for next year.

Now if we are not going to win another game, why do we need a 33 yr old DE making $6 million on a 1 yr contract? Obviously we dont, so move him for a pick if you can, thats the smart play here.

Just saw a video by Mike Fisher. He seems to think that Poe and Worley could be the next players headed out of town.

Stay tuned.

LOL.

They aren’t going anywhere. Have you watched them play? They are done. Golden got a 6th last week. That’s Griffen’s comp. it was a good deal and smart to turn him into a late round pick. They should also shop Aldon Smith.

Don't think they look at it that way. I think they look at it as they weren't getting enough out of him and now they have Gregory as that third end. Smith shifts inside in the nickel.
