Release Him!!!

sportscurmudgeon · 05-05-2009, 11:29 PM

The candidates are:

Rabach - never gonna be better than you saw last year

Heyer - after three years of Joe Bugel tutelage, you have to expect better if there is any talent there to make better.

Randle-El - lots of money tied up there for mediocre on-field production.

Thrash - not much as a WR, but does add value to special teams.

Griffin - if you believe any/all of the young DTs are worth more than a bucket of warm spit, then Griffin is expendable.

My pick: Rabach...

Is he a starter? He is definitely behind Horton and probably behind Moore.

I don't want to change the gist of the thread, but the question is, with or without cap numbers involved? It makes a difference. For example, cutting Randle El would cost us $13.4M, keeping him is $4.1. Cutting Jansen- $6.2M, keeping him $3.4M. So realistically dropping those two can't happen.

I'll assume we're dealing with reality here, and so I'll take the cap numbers into consideration. I say Rabach. He stinks and would only cost us $1.3 to cut, and $3.6 to keep. Problem is we don't have an upgrade for him currently on the roster.

For the record I think Randle El is a marginal return man at best, and wouldn't be any better than a #3WR on almost all teams. But a $13M hit in '09 is absurd. Cap numbers aside, I'd like to dump him, Rabach, Thrash, Jansen, and Betts.

How ironic it is that people are quick to defend players when asked if they should be cut. lol. but these names have come up before.

ARE
Jansen
Rabach
Betts
Rogers..lol.
can we add Rock?
Thrash

Imagin if....if some of the people we picked up this yr can actually play better and bump any of these players. CAP implications a side. I honestly could see...

Jansen...cap hit
Thrash
Rabach
Rock
Betts

I think we brought in enough talent that these guys should worry but I get the feeling most of these players will be going nowhere simply cause they have been with the team and have the system atleast a yr under there belts.

Rabach. We could replace him with a speedbump and get better results.

MasterBlaster · 05-06-2009, 12:32 AM

Cooley, cause T.E. come a dime a dozen

saden1 · 05-06-2009, 12:44 AM

Clarification: You're an angry fan and you just want somebody release regardless of salary cap ramification. You can only release players at the head of the depth chart.

maybe in a gay bar but no way a Cooley calibur player comes a dime a doezen

The Goat · 05-06-2009, 01:13 AM

I'd go w/ Thrash first...we save a bit on cap and to boot he's basically been replaced already. I'll be very surprised if he makes the final roster. But if it's an actual starter we're talking about...Rabach. He sucks hard, cutting him saves a bit on cap room and we should be able to find a replacement.

Sellers, Im not over that goal line fumble.

Yeah, I'm all for cutting pro-bowlers over one play.

Pro bowls are just a popularity contest anyway. And it was at FB lol. We could easily get someone younger and cheaper.
