Is house cleaning going on?

[Idgit]

I don't think you come back from losing guys like Paea and Carroll, so you're probably right.

 

[gmoney112]

Lol no.

Still no idea why Thornton was let go, I'm guessing there was an issue with him because you don't just cut guaranteed money.

Interesting to see what will happen, but we should have quite a bit of cash this offseason.

 

[waldoputty]

T-Will? Sure but we won’t get anything and will still owe him money.

Nope you don’t trade the first pass rusher that has gotten double digit sacks since 2012 at no time of the season.

Franchise tag.

Thankfully...in this case, it has zero percent chance of happening. I bet you can’t tell me the last time this team has traded a player. It’s going to take some digging.

Twill - may be some contender with injured WRs may want him - we should hope.

DLaw - do you remember people talking about DLaw not being in as many plays as they want. i hope it is not his back. i dont trust his back and i dont trust tsmith's back...

No, I dont remember the last trade - fact of the matter is his health is a serious question mark. if the team sucks and he is an expiring contract, we should get value for him.

the 2 cuts this morning seem to indicate a house cleaning.
how big a house cleaning - that may be event driven by the games next 2-3 weeks.
if they want to compete, i think there is a quality vet LB who is a FA - right?

There was one cut. Carroll. Who sucked.

Paea retired.

if they were good, then we would not have been complaining, would we?
and look at the 'probowler' LB we just picked up to replace Paea!!!

bring in the young players and audition them now, and hopefully a couple would stick.

I hope there was an issue with Thornton that made them want him dumped because banking on a 1 tech with bad knees was probably a pretty big risk to take.

I liked the Thornton signing myself but it seems like he just doesn't fit at the 1 tech. His success in Philly was as a 3-4 DE.

On the same morning and you can call the roster change whatever you want.

sad thing is we could have had a good FA for the money we spent on the 3 of them.

LOL!

You know I'm reading post after post and you'd think Carroll and Paea were the "linch-pins" for this season...


I never knew.

I'll call it what it was.

One guy was cut because the staff realized he sucks.

The other guy quit because his knees are preventing him from being able to play anymore.

How that's a forced roster shake up is pretty funny to me.

sad thing is the FO apparently thought they were linchpins.

Trouble is you're talking about 2 off-season's worth of free agents. And every so-called "good" free agent signed doesn't mean they're going to perform to optimum levels.

So TWill is good enough now that a contender will want him?

Sorry dude...this doesn’t happen. You don’t trade double digit sack guys when you can franchise tag them. Teams aren’t going to give you a a premier pick knowing they will have to allocate a huge amount of cap space to him.

question is what other baggage is there to dump?

contender with serious WR injuries.
you can try but he is a progress stopper.

a contender that needs a passrusher (who doesnt) if DLaw continues to have success.
i am more worried that his back will not continue to hold up.

Paea was a DT, so how valuable can he really be

Now, Carroll, thats a different story
Have these guys not heard of "coverage sacks"?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

How do you come up with trading DLaw? Let’s get a 3rd round pick for a guy producing at a Pro Bowl level now. Real smart.

Cause he doesn't fit his dream of going to a 3-4. That is his end game.

really?
has thornton played well at all?
unfortunately thornton and carroll were the most pricey FA acquisitions in each year - am i correct?

Blanking on the names. The CB for the backup QB from Detroit?

 

[waldoputty]

has nothing to do with a 3-4 but to do with his 2 back surgeries.
is that someone you give a huge contract to - i hope not.
is this someone you franchise?
