TPS Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I'm shocked! This is week 10, do or die for Vlad, Davis, and Holmes...
PABillsfan23 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Oh man the sky is falling!! No comp pick!! Fire everyone!! Edited November 9, 2017 by PABillsfan23
Real McClappy Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I like Holmes and the others but would cut them for a 3rd rd pick. What is the deadline for doing this? Edited November 9, 2017 by Real McCoy
CEN-CAL17 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Just keep track on this game forward statistically of hoe those 3 do. Cause VLad shouldn’t be on this team, Holmes is basically depth and ST, and Davis plays like 15 snaps a game tops and is ST. I see what you’re saying. I think this team could finish the same with or without these guys. But I think it’s to the point the Leadership and McD want to show some loyalty, so they keep these guys. Which is fine too.
simpleman Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 We trade a multi time pro bowler, at a ridiculous dead cap figure, for a very late round pick, but won't release 3 almost scubs for a 3rd. Oh. I sense a serious ego over intelligence issue with this team. But no one ever accused of this team's management of being overly intelligent. All hail the egotistical "process" and blind loyalty to the "process"!

There would probably more discussion if they were say 2-6. I don’t see them cutting starters/contributors when they currently sit in a playoff spot. Edited November 9, 2017 by YoloinOhio

After how the team is played this year they started adding talent instead of droppin them for picks like in preseason.

All hail the egotistical "process" and blind loyalty to the "process"! For the umpteenth time, the trade of Dareus had very little to do with attempting to acquire "value" via draft picks/players than getting rid of a player who doesn't fit the team they envision who has severely underperformed his humongous contract.

BuffaloBill Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Look at the probability that third round picks become starters, long-term contributors or are not cut within a year or two of being drafted. In this case you are probably exchanging like for like players with limited opportunity to “strike gold.”
Xerx Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Ducasse IS THE starting RG, I'm pretty sure he's not being cut for a comp. pick... Debate his ability and his merit as the starting RG all you want, but as long as he is that starter. This is a non-discussion
The Now Moment Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Those players are either starters or have been rotating as depth. With all the injuries we've had this season, I'm shocked people would just throw away 3 solid depth players. We would be a super thin team just waiting for an injury or two at those positions to blowup this solid season. They aren't being overly intelligent, they just want some depth on this team and the depth has been a huge part of our success. How many times have we seen the next man up play well...that's what intelligent teams do. If it was one player than maybe but three is a lot of depth to cut from a team in the middle of the year.

H2o Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I believe Beane and McDermott like what they still have in hand already for the upcoming draft. I also think that it would be foolish to cut players who are actually playing a role on this team for the sake of a Comp Pick. They are all in with this "family" atmosphere and building team chemistry. Why do something that could upset that?
Captain Hindsight Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I dont see any reason to cut those guys. All are contributing and who do you get to replace those guys at this point in the year? All three would be claimed IMO

I do not see any of these players being cut. Compensatory picks are nice, but everyone will have to be satisfied with the 8 picks we have next year.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I’d pull the trigger on this. It makes way too much sense. Those guys are JAGS. I’d probably keep DiMarco (despite thinking that he’s overrated) but those other 3 would be gone.
