Peace out, Ron.

I'm down.

Should have around $30M to spend I think as of now, assuming Hali’s release as well as Zombo

Cap space shouldn't be an issue at all. The NFL is projecting an $8-11 million dollar increase this year so we could be looking at $35-40 million in free cap space.

The guy simply couldn't tackle and with no dead money for cutting him this was always on the cards. Now let's put a stud next to Berry and put some decent corners alongside them.

I agree but they are going to need quite a few new players along with our rookies. This is definitely a rebuild year.

The time is now though to do this with a cheap Mahomes contract and we will have plenty of money.

I liked Parker early on. Guys like him are a lot of fun to cheer on because they have to absolutely work their ass off to get anything.

Last year was bad though.

Bring on the youth movement. If you are going to do it, don't do it half-assed.

There's not much further back for the 29th ranked D to go!

This. He noticeably seemed to regress last year. If we're going to re-tool the defense, let's burn it all down. :clap:

The question I have is, how many teams who have built a young defense in the offseason, has managed to make a deep run In the playoffs? Is there a particular team who has done this in recent years?

We need to keep Sorenson. Also dropping Parker gives us space to bring in Manziel.

This

I’ve said it before and I guess I’ll keep saying it.

In a capped sport it’s about efficiency rather than youth or whatever other metric. It’s about production per unit payroll. Parker was a guy that fit that mold. We got a lot of production or of him especially early on and he wasn’t necessarily young.

It’s not good to have the whole damn team be 23-25. Then their contracts all come up at the same time and you’re starting the **** over. A team needs a balance of guys and for them to not get bunched up to have consistent sustainable success.

All that stems from good personnel decisions and avoiding the hard busts both with draft equity and free agent payroll.

But yeah. A full on fire everybody youth movement isn’t as productive as you’d think. Good teams have middle tier free agent acquisitions that are efficient payroll dollars.

Moves like this will allow us to do just that this offseason and next.
