Why Kalil and TD playing for other teams is a good thing. And actually should be celebrated.

He has alluded to the fact that he was willing to stay here for less money but the team didn’t want him back under any terms. I don’t know what he would’ve settled for I’m just pointing out that there probably should’ve at least been a conversation with TD’s camp about being a backup here for less money but we just pushed him out.

We didn't push him out. We moved to a 3-4 where his skill set wasn't great. Better to let a player go to a team who can use him than stash him away on one who can't.

Who says he couldn’t fit as a backup in a 3-4 (whether inside or on the edge) and mainly as a veteran leader?

To be Fair though, DG was doing this crap but caught hell for it. 

Let Beason, Deangelo, Smitty, and Norman go. Beason's body was done, Deangelo got fat, Smitty had one more good year then tore his Achillies, and Norman isn't worth what the Skins are paying him. 

All good moves in the long term, but short term pissed a lot of fans off.

The rub with DG was how it was handled. It remains to be seen how Kalil and TD look in hindsight. Olsen was one we shouldn't have extended and did.

Well the phone learns oddball spellings from you. You gotta quit gabbing about Khalil Mack so much.

? I honestly don’t thing I’ve ever posted or talked about him.

I mean yeah he is good. But he has never played for the Panthers

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
