Anyone have a guess when they move away from Ryan?   What is the date  17th to save the money?

17th is the date. That's when 10M roster bonus is due and that's when an additional about 7.2M of salary for 2023 is guaranteed. So this makes up 17.2M we can save if we cut him or trade him before the 17th...

Sometimes I wonder what is there to decide with Ryan at this point? He won't take a pay cut to be a backup. He won't retire. What are they truly waiting for?

Hate to see Okereke sign elsewhere. Leonard seems like one injury away from retirement.:(

 

It is what it is. Too much money into Leonard put us in this position. Unless you are the captain of the D and play MLB, you rarely see that kind of money thrown around to weakside LBs. At this point, we just hope Leonard can play all games of the season without any major setbacks.

I think it’s to see how the QB market fairs the first day of FA or so. Maybe a team gets desperate enough to come calling. Never know. There’s really no point in releasing him now as you gain nothing

Desperate team making them an offer they can't refuse?

Unfortunately we had too many prime time games to show off Matt Ryan's suckage, that a deal for him, IF it happens, will happen only AFTER he is released.

@stitchesThanks for creating this thread. I thought about creating one around 15 mins ago and got sidetracked. I'm just hoping we get a couple players today. I don't want to fall behind the 8-ball before FA officially starts when a lot of the valuable players are signed in theory today. 

You think Ballard is going to sign multiple guys on day 1 of tampering? League minimum deals like Tyquans don’t count either

I know, makes you wonder what is going on but I am pretty sure we are getting ready to cut him. Matt is such a pro's pro that we may wait until the last second. One thing about being a GM I would hate is cutting someone, especially a player that was once great.

If Peyton Manning can be released, anyone can be cut.

Yeah, we know we’ll have to cut him.  He’s just not going to retire and have to pay back some of his signing bonus.  If there’s no advantage to cutting him now rather than later, maybe he’s just additional obfuscation for our qb situation.  Never want everyone to know your plans, or they’ll tell Frank Reich…

I'm hoping to get Issac Seumalo on day 1 of tampering at least. If we don't, he'll be gone. He has the connection with Steichen from the Eagles and he fills a need at RG.

No difference.    The deadline is the 17th

Thanks. I hope Ballard releases him before FA then, otherwise we'll be putting ourselves at a disadvantage with significantly less cap space available. I don't see the point in keeping him until the 17th unless you believe those two days could be the difference between cutting him or him retiring.

Yeah. I can't figure out why they are waiting.    No way they will be able to trade him I don't think

Pretty sure they can cut him after June 1 too and save 13 million of that 17 they would have saved by Friday too

There are some rumors the 49ers might be interested in him but probably once he gets cut...

      Would you be ok with this move?

      By Myles · Posted

      No for me.  Alec is a cheap potential WR.  No bad can come from keeping him.

      By MikeCurtis · Posted

      I can see the need to improve the secondary, but Alec Pierce should be better this year, and he is so very cheap.   There is also a need for depth, as Pittman and AD Mitchell will need plays off.   I could see Pierce getting 20-30% of the snaps at either side     I am very excited by our offensive potential...... If we have health, this offense can stack up points. Our OL is very strong as well   Who do you double cover?   Last year it was Pittman   This year, with AD Mitchell AND Pittman, we will see deeper zones from our competition   When we had EDGE running the ball with our HOF WRs, Manning could dictate the play based on what the defense did.   8 Man Box?  - We will beat you deep.   4-3 defense/ Nickle?  We will run the ball   If AR5, can pick this up, we will be tough to stop.     I am SOMEWHAT excited by our defense, now that we SHOULD be able to bring more pressure.   But........   I would STILL bring in a vet at FS.......       We will probably wait until camp to do something here

      No way, we can sign a vet as good or better and still keep Pierce and see what this season brings.

      Tom Brady finally admits he knew about Deflategate...shocker..lol

      By holeymoley99 · Posted

      Oh ok you mean overall passing at the time as opposed to Otto personally. I gotcha. For the time he was much more active throwing then most and one of the main reasons the passing game evolved (Along with rule changes). Like some have mentioned hard to compare stats from different eras because of this so won/loss record and titles easier (Though not perfect) for comparison sake. 1 amazing fact is Graham still holds the all time record of yards per pass attempt at 8.6 despite playing in that era. The more time people spend researching him the more they come to appreciate him. He is forgotten by man, when older QB's are brought up it is usually Johnny U. who 100% deserves mention in all greatest conversations but Otto laid that groundwork.

      Not at all under consideration. O on a ten scale.
