Woz Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Cutting Brown as a regular cut would free up $5.75M in cap space in 2019. Cutting Brown as a June cut would free up $7.25M in cap space in 2019 and incur $1.5M dead cap hit in 2020. However, $4.5M of Brown's 2019 salary guarantees in March. So, there's a go/no-go window there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The thing we need to keep in mind about the ILB position is that Reuben Foster’s eligibility is a big question mark, but he’ll almost certainly start for us the second he’s reinstated. When healthy, I think he’s better than either one of them — probably by a pretty wide margin. But he’s also probably not your “QB of the defense,” and I don’t think Zach Brown really is either. That’s the benefit you get from Mason Foster, he’s definitely the more cerebral player of the three. He just isn’t athletic and rangy enough to play in today’s spread out NFL. Which is what keeps bringing me back to the ILB position in the draft. One of the Devins in the top 10-15 area, Mack Wilson, etc. I really think we need to make that position a focal point if the defense is going to the next level — you can see where the top 3-4 defenses have made big investments in recent years, whether it’s Chicago (Roquan) or Baltimore (Mosley) or Dallas (Jaylon/LVE).

If you can get Greedy Williams and then trade up from the second round for Mack Wilson. Look, I get people hate what they did in picking up Foster but if for some reason they can get that dummy to turn his life around they just picked up a heat-seeking missile at ILB. Adding Williams, Foster and Wilson and possibly Shane Ray via Free Agency would do wonders for this defense. I’m also assuming Manusky is gone. Unless Gruden is gone, Manusky won't be. It's the same situation that led to Manusky being hired in the first place- the top coordinators passed over our job because the coach was on the hot seat, and no one wanted to be looking for another job in a year. Also, ever since the story of Gruden got out where he "embarrassed" Wade Phillips in the video room, we don't have a chance at hiring a top shelf DC, even if Gruden isn't on the hot seat.

My assuming Manusky is gone is based on Gruden being gone. And with the rumors starting about Harbaugh wanting to return to the NFL I would bet Snyder goes all in for him.

And he’s always going to lose the battle against Aaron Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Draper Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Only Getting rid of manusky is like treating your dandruff when you have a massive brain tumor. i don’t think we will ever be successful with Snyder. He’s the Perfect example that getting rich in business is different than being successful in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I didn’t realize it, but either way I’d like to have a QB like him off of someone’s practice squad - who’s in their mid 20s developing - rather than a 30 year old who’s failed even as a back up in the league.

Harbaugh isn’t an offensive guy? Where do you get that impression? He’s a huge offensive guy, he’s a former college and pro QB. He developed Alex Smith & Kap and in college he developed Andrew Luck and other QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Harbaugh as a HC but I’m still not in favor of giving him final say over all football operations like we did with Shanahan to get him and that’s what it’ll take. Harbaugh left San Fran bc he didn’t get final say over all football operations, at Michigan he has that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 1. Harbaugh ain't going to work for Snyder. 2. Harbaugh is just using NFL HC rumors to get himself an extension at Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young team that's hungry in a town that will treat anyone who brings wins as a savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
