{Family Ghost} Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I noticed that NFL teams are now starting to cut guys loose. When is Graham going to get the axe? That should be a an easy call for Gute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say chances are better he’s cut, but I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion a lot of people seem to think it is. Everyone loves Graham and he’s still a serviceable receiving option. The money isn’t right, but that didn’t get us to cut Clay, Cobb, and a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got King, Alexander and then a whole lot of nobody. We don’t need to break the bank there, we just need a veteran who knows what he’s doing. Should have been Breeland, but he wants to get paid now after his Superbowl performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to stop looking at the history of this Front Office with Ted Thompson and crew and think that its relevant to what Gute would do. He's forging his own trends here i.e. SPARQ being a huge drafting factor. Prior to that our assumption was bible thumping twitter feeds as a draft prerequisite. This is just my opinion but I think you're talking two entirely different personalities here. Ted was as passive as it gets where Gute seems to be more aggressive.

Clay and Cobb both got paid 10-12 million in their final seasons here. If he didn’t cut Thompson’s guys, I think there’s reason to believe he might not cut his own.

If they would cut that amount in 1/2 ... maybe possibly then keeping him would maybe be feasible . This would be the scenario of a year to late in cutting your losses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I said, chances are probably better that he does get cut, but I wouldn’t call it a foregone conclusion. I’d say the chances are best as follows: Restructure, cut then re-sign, cut and not re-signed, paid the full deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Norman, Xavier Rhodes or another one. ESPECIALLY if Tramon retires or doesn't come back. So far I'm leaning Tony Jefferson for a reclamation project.

What are the chances another team winds up paying him in the vicinity of $10m/yr after we cut him? Maybe he re-signs with us for half that and backs up Jace. Would we even want that?

Maybe you can get a restructure done if you wanna go down that road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
