Breaking - Charles Johnson Released

[zacka77ack]

MOE, apparently. Money Over Everything.

Dave Gettleman is the man! 

You don't mess with his money and not produce!

Liked CJ for the man but the player needs to hang it up while still healthily!!

So, with Jared's retirement, CJ's release, and Frank's suspension through late Nov 2016, here's who we have as DEs as of right now, including PS & Futures Contracts guys:

Horton and Miley look like the likely replacements at left end that are on the roster.  Curious to see how Miley has developed but that position sits as a big question mark currently.

Ty for the good years, Big Money.  Best of luck to you the remainder of your career!  

Getts doesn't play around, I love it!

Can someone explain to me why we want Mario Williams?  I mean, I know the guy has produced, but he is 31 years old.

We have the 5th year option on Star....

Well, that 5th year option isn't cheap, just FYI.

Gettleman has ice in his Varicose veins!

He ain't playin' AT ALL!

I'm not totally on the bandwagon pushing for Mario.  But Kony is still quite young and not entirely proven.  Think we want a proven vet as one of our DEs.  If not Mario, someone else.  Also frees us up to go BPA in the draft and not have to trade up for a DE in desperation.

CJ gave some good years but he was never worth what Hurney paid for him.

with that said, Hurney had to pay him to keep him from going to Atlanta and possibly giving them the piece they needed to make a title run.

I would agree to a point but this is the best crop of interior DL we have seen in a while.

i think we could let Star walk at the end of his contract if Getts has a DT targeted at our draft position.

A new contract for Star wouldn't be outrageous, compared to a DT like KK.  People don't give Star nearly enough credit for what he does.  He's not a stat sheet DT, and was never meant to be.  He's extremely valuable to that d-line.

He's one year removed from being an all-pro basically, just didn't fit in that system.   Peppers is 36 and had 10.5 sacks last year.  You can't always go by that.  Obviously we won't give a monster contract but he may want on a winning team, etc.

Before everyone goes off on the "Grab JPP or SuperMario" tangent, remember why Johnson was cut: Late career player whose performance and injuries made him unable to match up with the pay he would have received. Mario and JPP are the exact same guys in the exact same situation. Those star names come with big price tags and only a very small chance for a return on the investment.

Chances are Gettleman will draft a DE and proclaim that the Answer Is On The Roster again... and be right again. The money is better spent on a couple of mid-price FAs and the rest used to shore up other portions of the roster.

It is this time of year people crave a big name signing. I'll personally would rather leave that to the Bucs, Raiders, Jags, Browns, Bills, Redskins etc.
