Re: Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle
I might be in the minority, but if we do not see any cap relief I think we have to go young and make cuts where we have too. Here is my moves.
1. Cut Santana Moss, we love to have him but the cap number is too big. I hope Robinson or Hankerson can fill those shoes.
2. Keep Kory L., with RG3 getting hit we have to keep a sound line
3. RT.... I dont know, I thought Polumbus did a good job, but could use an upgrade draft maybe... we wont know until April. We have no cap to find a premier RT through free agency
4. Cut or restructure D Hall. I actually thought he played great the second half of the season, but the cap hit is huge!
5. I think Fletcher has to go, we just cant afford him, the defense might have to suffer this year just to make things work.
6. I have said before I would love to keep F Davis, just dont see it unless he is willing to take less this year and more next year (maybe lock in next year salary???)
7.I think Lorenzo is gone, great while he was here, but a luxury we can not afford this year.
8.Banks..... really- see ya!
9.Golston is gone- there are several these 2nd to 3rd teir players that need to go due to cap hit vs. the value
10.Find away to keep Young, He does a great job for us, the cap to value has to be there.
11. I would cut Royster, flashes at times, way too inconsistent
12. Helu....... He can't stay healty, one blip at training camp he is gone
13. Find a scat back in the draft, speed and hands
14.Resign Paulsen at a cap freindly price, he has to understand he is not
Jason Witten.
15. If F Davis is not resigned, we have to find another TE in draft
16.Love to keep R Jackson, just dont see the money to do so. I think alot of teams that have cap will be after him. Another Antonio Pierce situation- this time due to the cap
If these moves are made the Defense will suffer the most, however are hands are tied behind our back. At all cost protect our QB's!!!!! The GM has tough choices to make, just a thought....where would we be if we never signed Haynesworth..............
