Is everyone happy with the following? Would the team be stronger?
I would def. be happier...and the team would def. be stronger.
=========================
THE SIX AT THE BOTTOM
OL - LEVIOR is warming the bench for Flynn I would think. Or for RT/RG Welbourn.
OL - CONNOLLY is to be replaced by a veteran OG who also plays OT, likely Welbourn.
G/C Connolly hopefully replaced by C/G Flynn.
ST - JONES is warming the bench for Faulk. Agreed.
ST - AIKEN may be moved to the IR when a vet safety is signed, likely Lynch. Agreed.
ST/S - SLATER will likely stay although could be cut if Aiken can come back soon. Extremely unlikely.
ST/WR - VENTRONE has earned his spot and is not vulnerable at all; he is our #5 WR. Agreed.
==========================
OUT: LeVoir, Connolly, Jones, Aiken
IN: Flynn, Welbourn, Faulk, Lynch
STAY: Slater, Ventrone
==========================
BTW, this analysis strongly says that bb has made moves so that he cwld not guarantee the salaries of three veterans (whether they were on the team before or others). Miguel might tell us if this was necessary for cap reasons. How much would we haved saved by cutting and re-signing, and did we need the cap room?
I agree that the release of Flynn, Welbourn & Lynch may have been more salary-based than performance-based, and I really hope than all the above moves come to pass next week.
