oldno82 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Well letting them go would be one way to reduce the cap. Maybe the team needs to be blown up. Out of that list Juice and Wagner are worth keeping for the future. Maybe Orr. Most of the others would not hurt us a bit if they moved on. Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Kyle Juszczyk and Brandon Williams maybe Lawrence Guy are the only FA I would really want back Quote
Tornado700 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Maybe it is time to blow this team up and start over. Also get Joe to renegotiate his contract to get these numbers down. His salary cap is the main cause of our being unable to sign big name talent. 16 interceptions this year? And you want to continue to be paid $120 million? Get real Joe. Quote
tsylvester Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Kyle Juszczyk and Brandon Williams maybe Lawrence Guy are the only FA I would really want backBrandon will likely be too costly but I would love to have him back. Guy is a must, hard worker, productive and he should not be too costly. Juse proved his worth this year, no play more so than that last one in Pit. They use the fullback a lot so he too has fo come back. The best in the league he is.. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I think Willaims will be to expensive now. They should have been proactive about him. Just screwed up like they did with Ngata. I have been saying to blow things up for a while. If they do Juice is not worth keeping. He will be old when they are ready. Also there will be no way Joe will give back a penny. He is a paycheck player. Quote
