BucsDraftGeek47 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 After @bucsfan333 commented about us possibly cutting Gholston it just got me thinking of who else we might cut. What about Don Smith? Anyway he cuts the axe? I haven't looked at how much we would have or be on the hook for. Just a thought if we drafted an LT and they were comfortable with Haeg at RT. Any others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 We'd have to pay D Smith his entire salary for the season. He's not going anywhere until potentially next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 David, Jensen, Barrett, Gholston, and Griffin are the only guys making more than the minimum that can be cut with zero dead money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we find a backup QB who would be worth signing that would take enough less to make the move? That would be my biggest question.

Griff may fit better in the Brady-Leftwich as opposed to the Arians-Leftwich offense from last season. With the irregular offseason, Griff has been in the playbook and has worked with these WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this new vet minimum lower salary cap hit, not sure all the details maybe resigning Gabbert. Just not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Griff being on the roster probably depends on what we do in the draft with QB spot. I don't see us carrying 3 QBs on active roster... Depending on what investment we make in the draft (1-5th rounder ain't gonna be cut IMO), Griff is probably the odd man out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to be within a certain amount of the vet minimum for it to count toward the cap as a vet minimum contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I m opposite, I think they draft a Qb and carry 3 on the roster. I just hope that is the plan. There still is a lot of risk with Brady over the next 2 yrs. They need to get younger at the position. I m not worried about Brady s feelings if they draft a Qb. They gave him everything he wanted. A lot of guaranteed money, no trade and franchise clauses. I just hope they don t wait till day 3 to draft one. Invest in the position. I don t want a Qb at 14. However, anything later and depending what round go get Love, Eason, or Morgan.

So maybe we do keep Griff, I doubt any other backup takes less. If Eason was there in the 2nd it'd be tempting , if he fell to our 3rd , that would have to be the pick imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, anything later and depending what round go get Love, Eason, or Morgan. I think we're gonna draft a QB, I just don't see it being before the 3rd round. Most likely IMO, it'll be a developmental guy in rounds 3-5. BA and TB aren't wasting a premium pick on a QB in this two year window we essentially have with both of them. They have the control over majority of this roster composition in this window. I think Licht will be the voice of reason for the future, but has to take a backseat until those rounds... If Brady goes down for more than a handful of games, we're screwed anyway. Griffen is one of those guys you can cut and then find off the street/ another PS in an emergency if need be... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the system, but the talent us still devoid IMO... Like you said, if Brady goes down we're screwed regardless, so I'd rather keep the cheaper, younger and hopeful upside guy instead...
