Cut or Trade 3

[CF74]

Give me three players you would cut, trade, or a combination of both mixed in between, that you believe this team needs to move on from. Dead weight, progress stoppers, lost a step, lost two steps, not worth the contract, injury prone, position needs to be upgraded/churned, all of the above, etc, etc...

Here are some examples:

Dez
Witten
T-Will

Crawford
Scandrick
Mayowa

Green
Bell
Looney


My first three are brazen and even though it might set us back 1-2 seasons, it’s addition by subtraction. Granted our coaches aren’t creative enough to do something with what we would have left plus maybe adding a few vet fa’s and a draft pick or two, but our secondary looks good!!!

Hypothetically speaking and God forbid but say if our team goes 7-9 or worse because we did nothing, then we contemplate this idea with a more open mind and get more participation in this type of discussion. Sometimes it takes drastic changes to yield better results.

Say what you will about Butler being inconsistent and injury prone but when he was on he flashed far brighter than both Dez and T-Will and this is only an indictment of both our #1&2, something has got to change, these guys are too comfortable....

Churn the bottom of the barrel. There are 8-10 names that can and will be easily replaced in the next 3 months.

Byron Bell
Chaz Green

Only got two, and you can replace 'em w/ traffic cones. Prolly be an upgrade.

Well, setting us back 1-2 seasons would certainly hold with the long-range Garrett Process, wouldn’t it?

1. Cut Dez
2. Cut Witten
3. Cut Mayowa

Cutting Dez is a smart cap move. He can be replaced at a fraction of the cost. Taylor Gabriel would be a faster better, cheaper player.

Cutting witten is also a no brainer. He is paid to do nothing except sell jerseys.

Mayowa has a significant cap hit and could be jettisoned in favor of Tapper or Taco.


TWill won't save us ANY cap room to cut him. I wouldn't let that get in the way of improving the position, but it's not a cap move.

Bell needs to go. I think we draft an OT if the draft falls that way and Collins goes inside and Bell is sent packing too.

Jerry, Stephen, and Ginger

Bell
Scandrick
Crawford

Some of those guys other teams would not even talk with you about trade. The folks that Jimmy and old jerrah bamboozled in Minnesota are no longer in the league, lots of them lost there jobs after that hijacking. Even the browns would hang up on you.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Bell
Scandrick
Crawford

You be lucky to get a pack of pork rinds and a root beer for all three.

 

[yentl911]

Butler
Rico
Scandrick

Cut - no value

 

[Gameover]

Witten
Dez
Scandrick

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dak
Jones
Scandrick

 

[waving monkey]

Butler
Rico
Scandrick

Cut - no value

Rico is on a sixth or seventh rd pay scale

Rico is on a sixth or seventh rd pay scale

I just don’t think he’s worth the time

well, so many choices, so little time

* I would NOT cut Witten if the plan is to cut his snaps to 50% or so...of course, that is NOT the plan, so I am on the fence here

Cuts (w/caveats);

* Dez: if he doesn't take a serious pay cut, then he goes; and I am not talking about extending money into future years, that is BS; I love the guy's passion, but his salary and sideline antics when he doesn't get the ball are prohibitive to the team
* TWill: OMG, please, those 3 hi-light catches a year are not enough; imagine if there was a LEGIT #2 on this team, perhaps Dez gets more open spaces
* Green: I have moved on from him; especially if your own, lame coaching staff does ZERO to help you when you struggle (see: Atlanta), then why does he get any support from this organization

Replace them all via draft and/or free agency

The GOAT???????

 

[Section446]

Cut Dez, Witten, and Scandrick... Get rid of all the career losers and start the new generation.

 

[Section446]

Agreed, he's a waste of time.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Just three?
Heck, I’d cut 8 out of the 9 you listed.

This is what this team has been doing for years upon years...oh we are building a team for the long run...so they draft. injured players, try to be cute in trades and FA that never work out, not the injured drafted players.
We do not need cut or trade statements to the players. That does not really work anymore either.

I am not ragging on your thread, I am fine with this, but we know where it will lead too. Same posts that have dominated the entire off season so far. But the reasoning of taking a step back never going to get us anywhere. Need to move forward.
So to answer your post n players....

Green, Bell, looney are too obvious, they would possibly be replaced anyway.
So I will go with more starter type players.

Scandrick, this is so obvious, but I would not complain if he stays.
Witten, progress stopper at this point, or at least he needs less playing time. If the team is going to be set back, then to so by playing the young players.
Dak, again, if the team is going to be set back, do so with a franchise QB now. not wait to see if Dak improves or not. Then wait and go through 10 years of finding a QB. If one s there in the draft this year, draft him.

but this will still turn into a dump Dez thread as it seem from your post it is disguised to be one.
