Are they trimming downhill players or does Eli's contract have them so strapped they have to cut quality players????Anybody?? Good move on releasing Jacobs last year.

I doubt that NY is " trimming down " , as they had no reason for being fat & happy . Has anyone heard any news regarding CB) C. Griffen or FS) T. Jackson returning ? It would be nice to hear how Orakpo , Davis , Helu , Carriker and Minnifield were doing . HAIL SKINS !!!

Wilson and Brown are MASSIVE downgrades from Bradshaw....so blame Eli.

Osi is on the downside but Canty is still worth keeping.

Report: Brown's contract to void on Friday | CSN Washington

[Monkeydad]

Ugh...still counting $3.3 million and not taking up a locker.

Good to see it over at least, except for paying for it.

Shame, he could have been a great RT for us if he could get on the field.

Antone Cason is a young fast CB in San Diego who is supposed to be better than Jammer.

So after reading through PFF it sounds like these guys are worse than DHall.

However they did say that Chris Clemons the safety for Miami is a better rated safety than Byrd in terms of 1st downs allowed and TDs allowed.

Also Adam pacman Jones is rated very highly in a lot of CB categories.

Hard to blame Eli. When you get a qb you deem to be your franchise, you are going to pay him, or else someone else will. NO went through that with Brees, Baltimore is going through that with Flacco now, and I extremely hope that we face it with Griffin in a few years. You want your qb to earn that type of contract.

But it does require that your cap guys, draft guys and FO are top notch to keep the team in the thick of things a few years into those type of contracts.

“I think his absence this year really showed up and I think they know that Kerrigan needs somebody on the other end to help anchor for him,” La Canfora said

This to me is a tough call. Jackson made some damn good plays last year.

[Monkeydad]

Definitely not blaming Eli personally, just his contract. He helped a team with a mediocre season win the SB and did it a second time too. He earned the payday.

However. it was a ridiculous amount that is going to hamper the team going forward.

I bet we will have to make this decision with RGIII...because we cannot let him go. Thankfully we won't have to deal with a bogus cap penalty then.

He did but he's not the pass rusher that Rak is. That's the area we really missed him.

[CultBrennan59]

locking up rak long term should also free up some cap space, am I right?

His cap # is around $3.5 next year so yeah they could reduce that hit with a new deal

Yeah, also Kerrigan damn near disappeared in a few games where he was being double teamed. Having two useful pass rushers would be awesome. I like Jackson dropping into coverage, but not enough to keep him over Rak and certainly not enough to pay him "big" money to be situational

That's why it's important to win the whole enchilada BEFORE they get into that $100mil contract. Hard to build a Super Bowl winner with so much salary tied up in one person.
