I think one of the first two need to happen with both and I thought this woulda happen by now. Thoughts?

Hard to imagine Bowen back with his cap figure. Chester seems safe for now at least. Depends on what other moves we make in FA and the draft. And there's potential injuries along the way to factor in. That's why there's no rush to dump players if you don't have to. Still a long way to go in the offseason.

I'm fine with Chester as a backup. Hopefully Bowen will return with a new contract.

I think Bowen comes back at a reduced rate, but isn't a roster lock. I think Chester gets cut sometime late spring/early summer

[bigant]

Having Bowen back would be great at a reduced price. He's more than capable and having him in rotation would keep him fresh, and add some flexibility to what we can run on defense.

It seems our problem is always depth. We have a decent team if you're playing madden where players don't get tired or injured. But thy do, and you need capable players to step in for a period of time here and there.

Having a defensive line rotation with Bowen, Cofeild, Jenkins, Baker, Hatcher, Gaethers, Neild, Worthington and occasionally Rak and Kerrigan on the ends sounds pretty solid. Plus anybody else we might sign/draft could contribute as well.

I doubt they keep 8 D Lineman

[Lotus]

We don't need 8. We just need 6, if all 6 are good enough to play often. If we have enough depth to swap lines like a hockey team, we'll be fine.

I want Bowen to stay. If at a lower rate then fine. But I want us to as many fresh, capable, D-lineman as possible so that Haz can rotate them like he likes to do.

Chester can go bye bye IF we sign a guard

No new signings. No news. No rumors.

there is no way they can afford to pay Bowen $7 million for a part time player

offer Bowen a new smaller contract,or cut him. If they cut him, they would create $2 million in cap space, however there would be $5 million of dead cap space too

[Evilgrin]

Bowens cap hit may less after June 1st also, they can spread it out a little more. I think they are definately negotiating him down, his cap hit this year is 7mill.

Bironas pls pls pls
