Silver lining that Pettine sees something in him that Dom didn't?

Maybe? Seems weird not keeps my Biegel or Ahmad though given their age instead of Fackrell

Im pissed we kept crawford instead of Thomas... Hell even Martini...
We dropped the FB position entirely too...
Change is a comin' <45>

 

[The Sole Survivor]

Khalil Mack just got paid.... Highest paid defensive player in the NFL....

 

[Gregolian]

No FB
Biegel gone which means almost no depth past Fackrell at OLB

KUMEROW MADE THE TEAM THOUGH

 

[JackWhite]

8 Receivers?!

Just glad all three rooks made the cut. Will be fun to see who usurps Allison by mid-season.

 

[Forever Young]

That's a good looking team, Mack or no Mack

 

[Forever Young]

And, sorry for any diehard Khalil Mack fans thinking of switching allegiances.

 

[INeedARemedy]

That's a good looking team, Mack or no Mack

This. I like it. It's significantly better than last year's team, which, is a really nice thing to be able to say

All praise go to Based Gute

“In Gute we trust”


to soon?

 

[Gregolian]

Rumor is Davis is being shopped and if we can get a pick for him Rip is resigned.

 

[Zanatos333]

What kind of pussy only keeps 8 receivers? I would go with at least a dozen and get rid of the inside linebackers. They don't do shit anyways.

Based Martinez would like to have a word with you:

 

[TankAbbott]

Two popular white guys being the most prominent releases. Our fat, drunken, casually racist base is probably in an uproar.

 

[lifelessheap]

Khalil Mack just got paid.... Highest paid defensive player in the NFL....

Rodgers get moderately more money at the most important position while being 1000X more important. Packers got a steal in this market.

Rodgers should have waited. The most talented QB ever should be making 2X the money the highest defensive player is making. The QB literally had the ball in his hand every offensive play and has way more effect on the game.

I'm drunk. I want to watch some real NFL games.

Only cut that kind of surprised me is Ripkowski, but half the league doesnt have a FB and he doesnt play many snaps anyway. Rather have kept 4 TE's and have one line up back there if need be. Kinda funny because I can think of plenty of times including the last SB win when theyve had 2 on the team, times have changed. There are a couple guys im surprised that made it but Im pretty confident we'll see some changes to the 53 before the first game, Gute seems more aggressive and proactive in trying to improve the team. Need some LB's for sure, only 4 OLBs is not enough. Not to mention Jones doesnt count toward that at the moment either.

Also im kind of getting annoyed at people getting mad for not getting Mack (wahhh no SB this year, another wasted year blah blah blah) You realize that the Bears first round picks are very likely more valuable since they arent as good? That would mean offering even more then they did, and thats not even mentioning signing him. For one guy thats quite a lot

 

[ralphc1]

Gruden will probably grab Ripkowski.

 

[Gregolian]

Pats cut Flowers. Potential pass rush help?

 

[INeedARemedy]

Michael Johnson from Cincy is kinda old at this point but he'd be worth a look as well

 

[Gregolian]

That is frankly a huge worry for me.

Outside of Super Saiyan Daniels we have like no real true pass rush ability and even then Daniels is more of a run stopping DE than a true edge rusher the way guys like Bosa, Miller, and Mack are (just as examples)

Clay is too fucking old at this point to do very much unless other guys are blitzing and eating all the blocks and Perry is useless outside of contract years and is frankly at this stage a fucking bust and Fackrell couldn't beat a block from a fucking high school TE.
