genomich Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We are obviously rebuilding, so let's get on with it. We all can plainly see that these old farts have nothing left in their respective tanks. Maybe we can sign some last minute cuts with money saved.

Makes no sense to give up quality depth, plus 2 starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Fist off, the team has plenty of money under the cap still. So, if they were looking for someone big, which I really don't think is possible because I don't think anyone great is still available, they could likely pull it off withouth cuting three vets who at the very least can provide veteran leadership.

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Holcomb is possible but a replacement #3 will have to come free that we are interested in, I don't think Kingsbury makes the team. A positive in Holcomb's favor is that he's more expensive to cut than to keep so even if we're planning on sitting him the whole year it's cheaper than cutting him, eating the difference, AND signing someone else. That's a lot of money for a #3 QB. We might play QB roster games during week 1. If a veteran player is on the roster on week 1 they are guaranteed their entire salary, if they aren't signed until week 2 they are not. We might axe Holcomb at the last cut, go w/ only 2 QBs during week one, sneak a young guy through that we don't want to cut, then sign a QB during week 2 and either shady IR the guy we didn't want to cut or try to sneak him through waivers that week...after all the other teams have basically solidified their rosters.

He looked pretty good the other night. I'm told he's wily in the backfield, but I didn't see him doing much moving around because he protection was pretty good.

I would be suprised if any of these 3 got cut this year, especially Vilareal who is tight with Jauron. Now as far far as next season goes, all 3 could be on other teams by then.

He has sucked since just before the end of 2004. Ralph might very well cut TV to send a message to the NFLPA. I doubt if he would be missed much in terms of his ability as a football player. In fact, he probably sucks. As bad as he seems, Holcomb might be the least likely of these 3 possible cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through the two preseason games, Lorenzen is the only one besides Manning to have seen action each week; he came in for Hasselbeck Aug. 11 in Baltimore and came in when Johnson was done last Thursday vs. K.C."
