how about moving revis to FS instead of cutting both him AND gilchrist ? let him end his career on the Woodson note Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would suggest the opposite, if I were GM, I would talk with TB and suggest that they run the ball more and solidify the oline to help the young QB, instead of forcing the QB to carry the team by going 5 wide all the time. But I do see your point.
I mean I was just saying so the younger guys get their reps. Put them out there. If they get open they will get the ball. But I do agree with running it. We just can't take the Sanchez approach. The new QB has to win games with his arm. If not, we have the wrong guy.
In general, I agree with you about keeping the weapons, but they may need the cap space if there are quality FAs they want to add to address some of the holes at other positions. In addition, with Decker recovering from both hip and rotator cuff surgery, he may not be the same player he has been, or may not be ready until the regular season, so I think you have to at least consider releasing him, although B Marshall would give us more cap space.
IMO Revis would not make an effective FS. I know that not all FSs are ballhawks or have blazing speed, but if I can get that in my FS, I'm going to. We also need the cap space from Revis, and I doubt he's willing to take a significant pay cut to play FS. With the way he's been mercenary wanting more money in his career, it would be karma for him to get cut when his skills have evaporated rather then to keep paying him a premium for subpar play.
In terms of making plans for next year, if Bowles keeps the HC job, which he probably will, do you think either Rogers or Gailey will be gone? Mac or Woody might tell Bowles that a condition for keeping his job is that one or both coordinators have to be fired. If Gailey leaves, do we turn to Patullo and keep the same offense, or do we go with a more traditional downfield passing attack with the QB under center? It seems to me that would help our rushing attack significantly.
Gailey is capable of attacking down field but he needs a QB for that. If it ain't broke then don't fix it. Gailey is a keeper for at least another year IMHO
Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero Source: NFL teams were informed today the per-team salary cap for 2017 is projected to be $166 million to $170M. Up from $155.27M this year.
We all know, that we have to make some "must" roster cuts. Clady only played some games where he was healthy, +10M cap space Revis: I don't want to see him in Jets jersey during next year, maybe if he will take a huge paycut, I mean his salary going to be under 5M, plus 9M cap space. Other possible cuts: Giacomini, Mangold, Harris Question marks: Sheldon, Marshall So, if Macc wants, he can manoveur during FA, of course, i'd result some holes too, but don't want to see players who are not putting 100% effort into the matches, like Revis and Sheldon.
Hate the thought of getting rid of Sheldon only because he will end up on the Patriots and turn into a perennial All Pro
If Revis is going to move to safety,Id love to see the move happen the last couple of games this season so we can see if he can play the position. He lacks speed as we know, has never been known as a big hitter or sure tackler. I don't see him playing the position very well. Mangold will likely be approached about a pay cut and could simply retire like Brick last off season. Mo can't be traded due to the cap hit we would take so Sheldon will likely go for a third round pick, if we're luck it could be a conditional 2nd rounder based on his play. Claddy is probably gone, he was an injury risk coming in and 10 million for another risky season is a no trainer. Marshall or Decker should be let go as well. Marshall has hinted at retirement and whit Fitztragic gone, Mangold possibly gone,he may well follow suit.
