TheyCallMeAndy Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Long, but a darn good watch/listen for sure. While they are ultimately just fans like us, they clearly do some homework and have some interesting insight and opinions. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to remember as much as I can but I might miss a few things... -They left the big potential restructures alone (White, Dawkins, Poyer, Hyde) but available if necessary -Talked extension for Morse, Knox, Diggs, and possibly Edmunds to lower cap hit...but were ok leaving Edmunds alone and letting it play out... -Keep Beasley, but try for a pay cut -Either cut Klein, Matakevich, or get them to take pay cuts -Hughes, Addison, Butler gone... All in all, they ended up with about $28 million in cap space...👍 Edited February 14, 2022 by JaCrispy 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think Jerry stays. Just a gut feeling. And I think he'd stay on a vet minimum with incentives built in. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Phillips, Levi Wallace, Siran Neal (fasted guy on the team), Justin Zimmer, Ryan "Rick" Bates, and Isaiah McKenzie would be a few of interest to me.

And I think he'd stay on a vet minimum with incentives built in. I think Jerry is gone unless it is a HUGE pay cut I was there for the segment. Two things I think people should brace for - Players we love are going to be gone...they will be asked to take pay cuts and some will and some wont - We are not going to be huge players in free agency - Get ready for the "biuld through the draft model" One thing I am hoping for is they use youth to fill special teams and stop paying this huge money to special teams players...the way the rules are set up nowadays for ST's really should drive us that direction. Use that money on important places like Yac monsters, and the lines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All I Need is Hope Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I appreciate the summary from everyone. I think the most difficult part to project is the progress players like Rousseau, Basham, Epenesa, Doyle and Brown will make. It makes departing with Addison, Hughes much easier, if they make nice leaps. I think they all will grow and perform better... just a matter of how much. I agree with needing a playmaker/game changer on offense and IDL and IOL upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with needing a playmaker/game changer on offense and IDL and IOL upgrades. Calais Campbell is my free agency target for the DL. Similar to other free agent DL they've acquired or tried to acquire in that he's multiple, can play inside and out. Close relationship with Rousseau. He'd be so good for the young DL we have. Plus he's still a very good football player that would add toughness and stoutness upfront. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a guy I've penciled in as the 9th DL..........a backup to Phillips and a mid-late round rookie at DT1T and 3T and DE.............and as you said he's a Rousseau fan/supporter. He'd have to be cheap though. He's not a playmaker anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s lost a step, but I still see him as the best pass rusher on the team this year. i wouldn’t be shocked to see him retire, go somewhere else or re sign cheap. He’s made $80 million over his career??!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
