Ford? Seriously?

37 sacks in the 13 games that Ford played in.

11 sacks in the 6 games Ford missed.

So essentially we averaged 3 sacks per game when Ford was part of the pass rush, and 0.5 sacks per game with him out. Anyone who watched the games this year realized he was a huge X factor for the D. Getting rid of him is the last thing we should do.

Here's what I would do.

Cut Goodwin and Nzeocha.

Trade Solly and Pettis for peanuts, essentially just trying to get their salaries off our books.

Tear McKinnon contract and ask him to take his dead cap money as salary, if he doesn't agree he can walk.

I would even go as far as trading/cutting Coleman. He's been hit or miss and injury prone.

If we can pull all this off we would end up with about 44 million in cap space.

Jimmy needs to restructure, he's not worth what he's making. He choked in the SB and threw like 20 passes through the playoffs before that. Restructure his deal......

I agree with everything - except McKinnon I would just flat out cut. Coleman I would try to save - with Breida being so brittle, I would be wary of letting Coleman go, plus he's really good.

Some people just don't know what they're talking about.

This is what drives me crazy about the NFL. Just when you get a solid team you start running up against the salary cap. When a team starts winning players want even more money. NE managed to escape that problem by playing in a weak division so they didn't need to sign high priced talent to win and Brady always took less money. We don't have that luxury. Guys will leave for more money and we're in a competitive division so it's a dogfight every year.

I'd like to keep everybody, but I'm starting to lean on the side of letting Armstead walk. He's a great player who had a career year in a contract year, but he's expensive and we are going to have to think about who's more valuable. I'd keep that money for Bosa, Buckner, and Ford.

That's why in the current salary capped NFL, the word dynasty for most means 2sb's in 4 years then bust. we're no different. We don't have a freak qb that can win crap on his own.

Well we're gonna be on the hook for 4 million in dead cap if we cut McKinnon, I say let him play for that. He probably won't get much more in FA, and he gets to stay with a contender.
