Dave in Avon Lake now Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 After reading a few fire Whaley posts, it got me thinking about next year. No, I'm not ready yet to give up this year but since we are on the bye I'd like to pose the question "Who do we keep?" Offense: QB Taylor RB McCoy WR Watkins, G Incognito (resign before season ends) C Wood T Henderson, Glenn (contract may be $$$) TE Clay, Gragg Defense: DT Dareus, K Williams DE M. Williams, Hughes LB Brown, Bradham S A Williams CB Gilmore(more $$$), Darby P Schmidt ST Easley I know there are a few contracts that need to be worked out, but these are my keepers. What say you?

billstein22 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't know that Bradham is worth keeping. He's going to demand a huge contract and he's been a liability this season, both in terms of performance and his proclivity for boneheaded penalties.

Nanker Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We don't need to create a Frankenstein monster with dozens of spare parts. Build from the middle out on all three teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't know that Bradham is worth keeping. He's going to demand a huge contract and he's been a liability this season, both in terms of performance and his proclivity for boneheaded penalties. I get the impression that he will be a casualty. I think we'll be drafting at least two backers as well (one of them high - an athletic coverage LB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 you forgot EJ. he's still developing (that's what the knuckleheads like to tell me). and we don't have to keep anyone on the DL apparently because Rex just drops them into coverage anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I once the 5th year option on Woods. He can make diving catches and catches in traffic. He made a few brutal plays already this season (aggressive run blocks, ST tackles, punched Gilmore in practice) while staying healthy. He plays with heart and I see him actually sprinting after the interceptor while Sammy just jogs and lets someone else handle it. Even if he's not cut out to be a #1, he's still my favorite WR on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will overpay. We will draft an athletic coverage-type LB. Bradham is very good, but not great like some of the guys we need to keep (Gilmore). I could also see Glenn being a possible cap causality as some teams love to overpay there. He would be harder to replace than Bradham IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'd like to keep Glenn, but it's been a rough season and I'd be worried about ponying up money for him. I'd hate to have to find another LT when there are other areas of the line that need an upgrade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor isn't the answer but he could stay while we develop our rookie QB. Henderson, Glenn no great loss. I can see Mario reworking the contract.

jahnyc Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think we can upgrade from Henderson. I keep hearing about his potential, but he has been pretty bad this year. He is young with a low cap number, so I hope he can show improvement during the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense: QB Taylor RB McCoy, Williams WR Watkins, Woods, 7-11 G Incognito, Miller (resign before season ends) C Wood T Henderson, Glenn (contract may be $$$), Kujo for depth TE Clay, (no to gragg, still not an NFL caliber player overall) Defense: DT Dareus, K Williams, Charles, Bryant DE M. Williams, Hughes (need more depth here) LB Brown, Bradham (need some depth here too) S A Williams, Graham CB Gilmore(more $$$), Darby, Robey P Schmidt ST Easley, Sanborn I know there are a few contracts that need to be worked out, but these are my keepers. What say you? I'd keep 27 of the current 53, but that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
