Punching Bag Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 And should start dumping players they have no intension of keeping next year in case a player is picked up on waivers saving them money? Might even release a player so that a rival is hurt in playoff hunt / playoffs? Clearly New England Patriots @ 3-11 have no chance and is competing with NFC for 1st draft pick. Report out of New England GM/HC is out at end of season but I will believe it when I see it and will still be skeptical. He could be reported dead and I'd be skeptical. New York Jets @ 5-9 is hoping that they can try again to have winning season with Aaron Rodgers as QB next year. The Aaron Rodgers comeback that won’t actually result in a comeback has ultimately cost Kalon Barnes his job. He was put on PS and will be elevated for last 3 games. Tennessee Titans @ 5-9 and Los Angeles Chargers @ 5-9 Neither seemed to be going anywhere this year. Las Vegas Raiders @ 6-8 - they can be a difference maker and possibly a spoiler but cannot make playoffs They play Chiefs, Broncos and Colts all in playoff hunt.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 These teams still need to have a full roster of players. They can't just dump salary. Also there are only a handful of games left. The vast majority of a NFL player salary is paid in roster bonus or sign on bonus. Little is paid in game checks. I have no idea why the Chargers just cut their DT. But it will not trigger some sort of mass cutting of players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
