Mango Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 2 hours ago, Einstein said: Yeah, bad decisions is part of the organizational issues that were mentioned. We are currently $42M over the cap going into 2024. Cutting White saves us $6M. Cutting Morse saves us $8.5M. Cutting Harty saves us $3.9M. Cutting Poyer saves us $5.5M. Cutting Johnson saves us $7.7M. Cutting these players brings us down to $10M over the cap. We then have to replace those 4 starters too: Average starting CB: $6M ($5,388,889) Average starting S: $4M ($4,107,221) Average starting Center: $6.7M Average starting Nickel: $4.3M ($4,328,667) That's $21M in replacements for average players. There is no easy way out of this. This would be a terrible mistake IMO. The center is a pivotal part of the offensive line, both from calling out protections, to his relationship with the QB. Cutting Taron would be dumb. He’ll get an extension to help alleviate his cap number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It’s not so much the contract that’s killing us with Von. It’s his restructure. We should have an out this year and we don’t because of it. For all the talk of our record with “this roster”, we have one of the oldest teams in the league. We’ve been screaming towards this cliff for some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 1 minute ago, julian said: Yeah the evidence of superficial injuries can and may seem damming, but I can’t help from going straight to the video on YouTube of the woman in a apartment complex accusing her spouse of assault but failing to realize inside the building’s elevator are security cameras where she was caught inflicting the injuries onto herself. Guess we’ll see where this goes. Obviously that's awful to think someone would do that, though it's kind of the same with what Miller is accused of. That seems like the only way he has out of this thing but no idea how he'd even prove that in the event that was the case. Either way it doesn't look good for him really it's a bad situation. As a rich guy he may be able to buy his way out of some of the trouble, but I don't see him staying here unless he clears himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDD Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 9 minutes ago, stlbills13 said: Highly doubting Von actually gets in any legal trouble. I'd guess some sort of settlement, maybe even an under the table settlement, is on its way. Not sure what that means for his cap hit but it's probably not great. If any of this is true, I hope the woman and her baby get the protection and peace that they deserve. And I hope Von never has any type of role in the NFL ever again (front office included) Eh, if it turns out that he committed physical acts of violence on her and the DA has solid evidence of such, which they appear to if they put a warrant out for his arrest, then Von might have some real trouble. Another factor is the pregnancy. Texas is a big right to life state and if the unborn child is injured or if the woman has a miscarriage because of the trauma and they can prove that these injuries caused it, he may have real big problems. A victim in a felony assault doesn't necessarily need to testify. The responding officers can certainly paint a damning picture and must have for them to put out a warrant. I'm not sure of the threshold of a felony assault in Texas, but this appears to have some weight. When you drive in to Texas all the signs don't say welcome, they say Don't Mess With Texas...there's a reason for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue would be the timeline, if this doesn't play out quickly enough it's possible even if they do eventually suspend him that it'll be after those cap hits are set.

Or is it like cutting him without having to pay him the guaranteed money? @Tuco thoughts mate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah totally agree, that other dude was only saved by cameras, without that he woulda went down and if Miller has no such evidence then he’s in trouble. I’m happy that he’s no longer going to be taking snaps from Epenesa Floyd Rousseau or even Shaq, he’s been that ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius move. They'll never find him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not showing up for 1/2 the year wasn’t enough, I’m gonna have to change some of my passwords with his number in it. I guess it’s best to keep with 12 83 34 or 78, or an occasional 67 58 or 97. Ya might wanna change any 97s. Might wanna read a bit about Biscuit. And 12, well, if we wanna talk about beating women, maybe take Jimbo out too. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
