**Rumor** about GW, Rogers, Jansen

[Schneed10]

The part about Jansen doesn't make sense. His contract would eat up more salary cap space in 2008 if we cut him than if we keep him on the roster.

Well, I really do hope the news about GW becoming head coach is true.. As for Jansen, I don't see how it is possible to release him - considering our T depth.. Only decent back up we got is Heyer, if we release Jansen which means we will go to Heyer unless we are planning to get a T thr FA?

Actually, I can say I can't blame GW for planning to draft CB this year.. We draft a good rookie and use Springs to groom him.. By the time Springs is gone, we would already have good cb along with improved Fred Smoot and healthy Carlos Rogers.. Which would solidify defense for years and years.. We always can use other rounds on WR and O-line..

I fully agree, but if he were just finished and they knew more than us, it is possible. But the thing that just makes no sense to me, is releasing Torrence. I mean why, they dont release guy like Torrence in the off season. Macklin does not need to be released, because he is a free agent. Seems pretty bogus.

its way to early to speculate about people getting released...I'm not sure how much of this I buy

The only way we could afford this is if we were to hold on to Lloyd.

Here's a good math question: how many beers over what period of time does one have to consume before Brandon Lloyd becomes a better football player than Jon Jansen? Also, how long does that person have to live?

BL stinks but JJ is constantly hurt and cant play. They are both essentially useless to this team.

Yeah...I think you're right. Heyer could be coached up, in my opinion, to play as well as Jansen...the problem lies in what people already said. It doesn't make money sense to unload him now.
