Paea and Carroll gone.
With Thornton already gone a few weeks ago, so who is left to cut?
Sounds like the FO may be cleaning house or even cutting bait on the season.
Carroll/Paea probably to be replaced by young cheap players though it is possible a vet LB would be picked up if they are not cutting bait yet.
So much for the cheap FA strategy because McClay can work magic.
Unfortunately, FO's hubris got out of control.
So we have 2015 repeating itself.
Lets hope there is some magic left in McClay combing practice squads.
1) Hopefully TSmith's back will be figured out.
Whether he needs surgery or just rest, we shall see.
2) Also lets give the Chido's hamstring enough time to recover instead of forcing it every 3 weeks.
3) If nothing else, lets play the young players and hopefully a few will be players.
So that means Lewis, Chido when healthy, Woods and may be White.
4) On the WR side, let Brice, Brown and Switzer play, and trade TWill if we can.
5) That probably means trading DLaw before the deadline - never trusted his back despite the early performance.
The season is almost shot, so let's see some good come out of it.
Without getting into the definition of tanking, we will likely get a top-10 and perhaps a top-5 pick if we tried hard - could mean 2 defensive playmakers next year.
