Who's out/extended/sacrificed to fit AB's contract?

[The Scrizz]

Gunner is out.

Who returns punts? You have 2 over-30 stars who can do it but why risk them? Dorsett is WR5 and plays no special teams. Gone.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Cut Jake Bailey. We won’t need to punt this year.

Post of the day. Well done.

I might be right that Dorsett goes after all.

Maybe Brown and Jules share the duties?

Reality is that with Harry coming back after the BYE two WRs out of DT, Dorsett, Meyers and Gunner will be gone. That is if Gordon didn't get himself suspended in the mean time or Brown had a Zolak-induced meltdown.

More importantly, what will happen when/if Gronk comes back?

Still putting one of them at risk every time. I'd rather have the guy who's name I can't spell and who plays on other ST units do it.

Then we can cut Gunner and let JE11 and AB return punts lol.

this seemingly insane decision has 3 important aspects:

1. it keeps AB from going to a contender--especially KC. It's almost worth $9M just to keep him away from KC, even if he sits on the bench.
2. It is probably a swap for DT, who plays Sunday and maybe then gets cut Monday (to hook up with another team). I doubt Bill mortgages any of his young talent on a (at best) one year rental. I suspect that Dorsett is safe, as he knows the system and is proven.
3. It juices Brady even more. Tom is now looking at yet another historical season and is assured that BB has his back (not something he's always felt).

Putting on the field AB, Josh, and Jewels [Jules: thanks!] together is a defense coordinator's worst nightmare, and then you have to face a fantastic backfield as well. Play action will be so amazing that I'd be surprised if the NFL didn't outlaw it by week 3.

I think (hope) they would put Gunner on the PS for now, which gives Meyer some time (if there's any catches left at all after the herd of Hall of Famers on the roster gets theirs) to show he should stick, at which point they can move Dorsett.

Nice problems to have.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I will be very worried if it is Dorsett. He is getting to Dola's territory with clutchness. Plus, I don't know about Brown and Gordon's mental state. Dorsett at least I know what I have.

 

[BlueThunder]

I'd be ok with Gunner as long as he makes it to the PS

 

[farn]

I might be right that Dorsett goes after all.

I sure hope not. Dorsett can be counted upon to show up.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I sure hope not. Dorsett can be counted upon to show up.

Very true. Between Josh and AB who the hell knows if either one of those two will be here in Dec let alone Oct.

His problem is he doesn't play ST.

OBVIOUSLY
make this a 2 year contract with conditions that make it effectively a 1 year contract

SOME OTHER IDEAS
$1M from the Jones restructure
$2.6M from trading Dorsett or $2.9M from cutting Thomas
extend Devin McCourty
extend Cannon
extend Van Noy
extend or restructure Hightower
and the usual suspects that can be restructured with the same compensation

I have an Economics Degree so Im pretty sure i can confirm that the 6.3 Million we have in cap space is less than the 9M up to 15 that we've agreed with AB.

Who is being given as an offerend to the gods?

Any predictions or guesses?

I have no idea... Brady already re-worked, so... I don't see an easy answer

My fav : extend KVN. My least fav : cut Dorsett.

They have less than 2 days to work it out, so I hope talks have been productive lol

Devin i think will retire sooner rather than later. I think Van Noy will chase the money, although that would be my favorite option.

Cannon might stick around, but who knows... We make Tackles rich.
