League wide veteran purge

Yeah, I think a lot are having to make decisions regarding cap and some vets' play have just fallen off or rookies have over performed. 30+ year old RBs, expensive 3rd WRs, back up DTs who could start, and the unknown due to recent injury. I think a lot of it has to do with the recent rookie crop coming in and balling. They can afford to do it because they have younger, cheaper guys filling slots/needs.

Looks like teams are seeing that you can win successfully without paying a lot of guys ridiculous amounts of money. This actually bodes well for us. Some of these guys still have plenty tread left.

Money talks, age walks.

MOST of these guys will go where the biggest contract is.

I would really like to see how many of these teams are showing their hand draft hand. A lot of these guys seem to be making room for what they're planning to address in the draft. I know that's not rocket science... but I just haven't seen it like this before.

    • I would understand it--especially if DJ Johnson, Barno, and Wonnum finish strong.  Graham, however, might not be the best fit for Carolina with Brown back.  Our DTs have underperformed (Tuttle, Robinson) and they can be cut and save about $13m, or one can be cut and save $6.5m.  Who might be a better fit than Graham?   Maybe the guy beside him--Graham's sidekick, Kenneth Grant, is also a beast.  You could argue that he benefited by playing with Graham, just as he would in Carolina beside Brown.  However, teams like to double the big NT/3 tech, and if you do that, you get Browned.  Grant is a 340 lb DT who has 3 sacks this year--against Ohio State, Saturday, he had 5 QB pressures--and he has been doing that all year.  They could not block him.  If you want a player who compliments Brown (as opposed to rotating in with him) I would take a long look at Grant--in round two if he is there--after drafting an Edge in round 1.  In my view, THAT would solve the running game issues and give us pocket collapsing pressure up the A gap.  There is also a DT from Kentucky I like in this role, but Graham is good.
    • He is a free agent after this season. Do you want to pay him like a top kicker?  He can't kick much from past 50 yards. 
    • I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take.  We are miles better than we were week 1.    If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.
