Who trades for players about to be released? Some absolute geniuses running this franchise.
Well, a trade would guarantee a team gets a player, whereas if the player becomes a free agent he might sign with another team. Accordingly, I don't think a trade is impossible, but I can't imagine a team would give up more than a 6th or 7th round pick.

anybody else feel like the Jones famiily dont want to win anymore but just want to horde money? for years every FA they have brought has been utter trash and bottom of the barrel.most dont make it though the season and some get cut before the season starts.

That doesn't add up with what their cap situation looks like. They're spending, they're just doing an abysmal job in scouting free agents. Whoever is working in pro personnel is doing a terrible job. College scouting has been good, pro scouting has been awful.

never thought about that.
if they are the rats...thats entirely possible.
leak some bull crap info to hurt the team...then try to hurt any possible trade so they get released...making them free to go where ever they want.

Malcontents and sour grapes all around. But who knows? While these may be the complainers, it's impossible to know for sure. But they're certainly not the only underachievers.

pretty sure its the head coach. He never got to do this in Green Bay and they gave him Parcells like power and he chose a bunch of veterans for quick impact.

I cant believe they are not trading his pal Aldon Smith. This guy might get you more than griffen.

I'm not so sure that Aldon Smith would bring back much at all. After his quick start, he's been a virtual no show the last few games. He also has more baggage than Samsonite.

They aren't getting anything for either. Jerry said something like Griffen played well, don't know about the other guy.

Hamilton has played really well. He takes Poe's snaps and stops playing 3 tech. Gallimore is looking good. No more Crawford at end. Those moves clear about 50% of the snaps for Gregory. Love to see us run some 3-4 pass rush with Lawrence at DE and Gregory and Smith standing up.

I was warned about Poe from panther fans. There was a reason why they were one of the worst run defenses last year. It wasnt all on him but he pretty much stunk it up like he did with us

I’d gladly take a 7th rounder for either guy. It won’t happen but one can always dream.

Exactly. It’s east to try to blame everything on the new guys. But we know it’s not all on them.
Yeah its not. Worley sucking I expected it. Poe sucked last year so I should've expected it. But the vets on this team from last year...I didn't expect that and those should be some of the main cuts. These releases are scapegoat releases. I'm not against them because I feel like hungrier and younger guys should be playing anyway.

Well it for starters sends a message to this fanbase that they aren't satisfied with the product they gave us.
Message to the fanbase...
If this fanbase hasnt received the message yet, than it may be time to break out the baseball bats.

Probably nothing. But you can't just sit on your hands. Something has to be done. Whoever is in charge of these free agents they need to be handed their walking papers too.
