Scandrick informed he is being released

Addition through subtraction i guess.

I would rather have the experienced depth than the 1.4 mil in cap room but I guess the F.O. sees it differently.

since we signed Mathieu then BJones can move to CB and JLewis can handle Slot CB

Guess Jerry finally got his satellite phone to work from the bahamas

Later.

They save 3M...

This must be a mistake. There's several pages of another thread telling me it's impossible to do business unless they're sitting in a war room.

If you include the 1.6 mil next year. But they only save 1.4 against this years cap and if they had waited until next year to cut him they still would have saved the 1.6.

Scandrick wanted to be cut. He'll likely make more as a free agent.

Waiting for the negative comments to start, one way or another....

No, that is not how it works.

So, doing this now rather than at the start of FA suggests to me they were having discusssions that involved trading him. Doing it now instead of doing it later means those discussions didn’t go anywhere. We moving on from the idea of a Thomas trade? Any other rumored trades?

Raiders just signed Rashaan Melvin from Colts. You’d think there might be a fit there with Eberflus.

Right after the annc that Scandrick is released, Seattle announces Byron Maxwell is in talks to return to Seattle.

Coincidence?

 

[Jarv]

Hold him ransom for a draft pick, why the rush?

 

[nightrain]

He was a good player for Dallas. injuries have taken a toll on his physical abiity. It was time to move on. They will draft his replacement.

Scandrick is the anti-Seattle CB prototype: Small and doesn't like to hit. They like the big DB's that love to hit/tackle (obviously Earl is the lone 'small' guy but he plays big).

Outside of some team giving him an offer he can't refuse, I'll bet my money he goes to a California team on a discount to be where he spends all of his time anyway (home and wife there).

This is how I see it as well. They were trying to use him as part of a package to trade for Thomas.

TIme to move on and sign the scabby discards that other teams don't want.

The better have a plan. Scandy was serviceable. Now we are just down another secondary player.

 

[Captain-Crash]

good cover guy but could never come down with the ball.

They save 3M...

Really they save 7m

1.4m on this years cap and 5.6m on next years cap

2019 goes from 63.3m under to 68.9m under
