Maybe if he spent more time reporting and less time bitching about the team and taking out personal vendettas on other reporters I wouldn't have unfollowed him on Twitter.

dtait93 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 So it would seem Morgan will miss week 1 and I doubt Evans will be out there either. Also, do we have any idea what's going on with Rak yet? Good thing LB became a deep position this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give em 2 1st round picks 2019 & 2021 he’s a defensive game changer I believe in paying defensive guys that are elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first + a player? Right now? 100% we can... but it'll leave some tough choices down the line... with so much invested in Lewan, Mariota, and Mack... don't get me wrong....that's a solid foundation definitely... might be the best QB/LT/Edge trio in ther NFL... But with so many resources there, there'd be a little squeeze.... but not as horrible as it seems... with Conklin, Byard, Davis, Adoree, Henry coming up on 2nd contracts... some aging and well compensated vets will be coming off... Rak, Morgan, Walker, Casey even... it's the passing of the guard in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see Casey's contract is set up to where we can cut him after this season without it hurting our cap(but I'm no expert, just from a quick glance at it), but I can't imagine ever actually cutting Casey. Even trading for Mack that'd be kinda pointless, you lose your dominant guy on the line then ask Mack to create all the pressure instead. Doesn't really improve the pass rush quite as much that way.

I think you missed the point. All the contracts are obviously not expiring or being terminated at the same time... just like Davis and Adoree aren't FAs for another 4 seasons including this one... the Walker/Casey contracts aren't ending after this year or next year. There's also the way teams structure the contracts. Not all contracts are the same... some contracts have cap hits that increase as they go on, some are somewhat evenly distributed, some are prorated so the larger cap hits happen earlier. Bottom line, they can afford Mack like they could have afforded Suh in the offseason. Mack being younger means more commitment, but it's the same basic concept. It'll mean a couple players that would have been otherwise kept may be let go for cheaper options... but it doesn't necessarily mean it's our core that's affected. Maybe we don't go after 2 10M+/year CBs... and go 10 and 5 instead... things of that nature. (Numbers aren't meant to mean much, btw... just being used for example here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Well that’s encouraging.... Personally I think most of the guys who’ve missed time would be a “go” if it was the regular season. Matthews, Walker, Orakpo, Butler, and possibly Morgan should be ready come Week 1. Landry’s injury didn’t look too serious either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read things supporting both schools of thought so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hope- Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 if morgan had the same issue as rishard, i’d say it’s likely he misses miami at least. hopefully that’s the worst of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
