So... total rebuild it is.

If Luke dips to Rivera, then honestly fug Luke. I don’t see that happening though. 

We own his rights for two years. While eating his contact. Unless he gives it back and he would become a FA.

So depressing that all the great players that have been through here the last 10 years or so are all leaving ringless, 2015 should've been the year.

Rivera just wasted them.

what if Luke pulls a Ryan Kalil?

Ryan saw the game (based on a few subtle moves his agent made) as a business.  Whenever we needed a contract restructured, Kalil was always involved.  I get that.

Luke is one of those players who would have paid to play.  Sure, he took the money etc. but once you get enough to be set for life, why risk that life for more than you need?  These are smart players.

With this, I think the choice to let Bradberry walk is pretty clear. TBH, I don't really see any of our free agents worth signing if rebuild is the idea. I'd go ahead and cut Poe, as well, to free up some cap space.

Yeah. Pretty much.

Tank for Taylor might be on.

Trade Cam. Sit CMC. Tank for Trevor. It’s the only way back...

Isaiah Simmons at 7 is very much on the board now for us. Still think the trenches are where you invest, but if Brown isn't there, then Simmons makes a lot of sense for us.

I was gonna get a thread together about how Simmons could've been the pick before this happened playing a bigger Derwin James role. 

Considering how much Rhule likes players with athleticism/track backgrounds and Simmons would be high on our board regardless

He is, and he has been. Tepper indicated as much when he didn't shut down the trade question completely. 

Then you get something for him. You've already watched the franchise cornerstone on the other side of the ball walk away entirely.

If both leave for nothing that is beyond pitiful.

what a difference six months make

[panther4life]

Salt on the wound is that his dead cap hit this year is 11.4 Million. 

[MHS831]

The case for trading Cam--any team would give us a high draft pick and pay him $21m  for a year.  Think Manning and Denver. $21m is not much for a QB like Cam for a year.  They do not have to commit on a long-term deal now.  There is minimal risk

We may get a second rounder (Many think we would get more--I dunno, based on his contract being in the last year and injury history).  A future first rounder?  maybe.

Trading him gives us an extra $2m and a pick higher than a third rounder (comp pick) if we cut him--and that is not guaranteed.

Gonna be interesting.

Time to tank for Trevor

If he retires?

Yea it’s bullshit but that’s the amount of guaranteed money unaccounted for. Would have been spread out over his contract if he kept playing.

It’s a net $4M savings. $11M savings in 2021. His cap hit was going to be $15M this year. 

So we get nothing... just probably a worse record
