Dear Jesus, pay the man.

Eric Winston is on the way out in Houston.

Winston, an offensive tackle who has started all 16 games for five straight seasons, wrote on Twitter on Monday evening that the Texans informed him they’re letting him go.

We noted a week ago that Winston’s $5.5 million base salary made him a candidate to be asked to take a pay cut or restructure his contract, but the Texans’ decision to release him today still comes as a surprise. It was a shock to Winston.

sign em all, there is no cap. Just go ahead and sticky the "sign em Hurney" for all the guys getting released

some of you guys think the NFL is the US Government who just spends without restraint on anything their "voters" want.

Alas, the rest of society, including the NFL does not operate like the feds.

Which is directed at a guy who keeps posting about the salary cap news. There's no need to be a douche, I think I understand how the salary cap works, look at some of my posts.

So every time a player gets cut, we have to have a new thread? Really?

This is the off-season, Zod allows for NFL talk to be put in the Panthers forum, sorry you didn't know that.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      Here's the problem with using stats only. Without the proper context, they're worthless. Example. Bryce throws for 3000 yards and 40 touchdowns. Amazing right until you view the context. Those numbers are generated by 40 75 yard screen passes that go for TDs. Now Bryce threw for 40 air yards on all those plays combined. Was it the receiver or Bryce who was responsible for all those stats? Obviously, this is a completely impossible scenario, but it is exaggerated to illustrate the issue with judging statistics alone.  The eye test is a far better qualifier of is he an NFL franchise QB. Is he seeing the field? Is he able to go through his progressions. When the pocket gets squeezed, does he bail out or step up? If the defense stacks 8 in the box to stop the run, is he able to make them pay for it? Can he make the deep throws consistently with accuracy? Right now, he looks like he might be able to be a backup QB. Unless he makes a serious improvement in his overall game, I'm still looking for another franchise QB come off season.

      The full route tree, not the simplified ‘what can Bryce realistically do’.  Can he make ALL the throws?

      As a backup to replace Dalton on a 2 year deal for the right low figure price, sure. Worst case scenario, he is a low price backup that doesn't really offer a whole lot. Best case scenario, he actually competes for the starting job with Bryce while we look for the replacement for both. Either way, doesn't really move the needle much, but everything depends on the numbers.
