warfelg Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Actually. Can kinda see it. Last three years King gave up an average 70% completion rate with a QB Rating of 103.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFF Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Overall going into next year…biggest needs are in no order OL/DL/WR/secondary. I’m gonna make the assumption theyll be somewhat aggressive in FA like they were last year. They can clear about $50 mill In cap room with just cutting Johnson/Robinson/Heyward/Petersen. Id be looking to replace at least 1 of Cole/Chuks with a proven starter type in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 They are not cutting Heyward. Just get that out of your mind now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and they will let him "retire" but he still plays at a high level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the statement in general, but Heyward is still playing like a top 5/10 guy at the position as of last year. I'd like to see them add another Benton area prospect in the draft and start to phase out Heyward as the play slips (if it does). The end of this year could change my mind if it looks like the Cliff showed up, but I am still interested in a short extension but a draft pick added to the talent pool to prepare for the near future and take a little off his plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m off the mindset of using that $16 mill more towards younger players that can help multiple years…especially since you can probably get 2 solid players with low year 1 cap hits with that. Your reasoning makes sense…maybe im just looking through the lens of ripping the band aid off and moving in another direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restructure next years money, 4 year deal with all league min, throw a few extra mil in there. He gets to keep playing, we get cap relief.

They make decisions like the Rooney's run the team. If Belichick were the GM/coach they would have traded Heyward already. They would have traded Polamalu and Ben but they did not and they will not trade a very popular member of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
