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...

    • In one of the interviews I listened to with Scott and a Tenn Titans reporter a few months back he was asked what's one of the things that separates you? He said probably what is between my ears. High football IQ, understanding of the game and instincts.
    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.
