Also, I don't think there is a difference between the salary we pay him in a trade vs what he's paid when he's cut.

There's a big difference in the salary that the other team pays him under those circumstances. ey isn't worth $3.8 million anymore, and he definitely isn't worth $3.8 million and ...

What I'm mostly PISSED off about is that we didn't figure out any way to get anything for him at all. That's what just doesn't make any sense to me. I understand his salary sucks but there's got a be a way to work it out with the new team to sign him to an extension or fully renegotiate it with him ...

As poorly as Cook played at Center last year, I am looking for Kory to move back to center (he was a center in Denver - might even be better than Monty from what I hear) if Gettis and LeRibeus are the what Shanny is hoping for.

My guess on the line is that we keep at least 9 on the roster (maybe ...

Re: Cousins is simply TRADE BAIT...

And there goes the theory about getting rid of Rex. I like Rex just where he is.

Cousins can't be trade bait unless he's the backup and gets a chance to shine in year 2 or 3 (hopefully due to a minor injury to RG3 and not a major one). The best parallel is Matt Schaub (aside from Schaub being a ...

Minnifield is a lock, so him plus two or maybe three. If he's not healthy, he'll head to the PUP or IR, but if he's healthy he's pro-ready.

Because of our depth, I think he may be on the practice squad.

FVinny,
I think everyone is assuming Hightower will be back. If he is we are very deep at RB. Maybe one of the NFL's deepest units!

Am I required to have an extreme opinion on this?

I haven't heard anyone or read any posts by anyone who thinks this was just a so-so pick. I don't love the pick, but I get the rationale, and I think it might work out OK. Am I allowed to have such a neutral opinion?

This move immediately turns our boys into a legit NFL O-line. Not the best in the NFL, but no longer a weakness (obvious caveat being the assumption that Brown can play at least 14 games this season). As important as anything else, our depth looks soooo much better after sliding Hicks, Williams and ...

I don't see a "mess" at safety. LL probably starts alongside Doughty or Horton.

None of those three can play free safety.

They're all terrible in deep pass coverage, and Doughty and Horton are pretty average at strong safety, too. Landry has stated flat out that he's switching to SS, where ...

And... addressing the debate going on here, I think there's an outside *chance* of Capers beating out Heyer. He's certainly raw, but has some talent. I don't think there's any less of a chance of him doing it vs. Bruce Campbell. He's not quite as athletic, but also not quite as raw. I like taking ...

Well, what does our 53 man roster look like? This is a guess, and I'm going for roster slots more than who is starting over whom.

He's probably a better shot to make the roster than Johnson or Parker if he's healthy. One of Portis/Johnson/Parker WILL get cut. 1 or 2 of Alrdridge/Hill/Torain/Williams/Greer should make the team, and Torain should enter that competition as ...

Paulsen is supposed to be strictly a blocking TE, and given Davis' shortcomings in that area, he might be able to make the team based on his usefulness in those circumstances.
