They are the same guy,

I think you missed the joke

What GM are we getting? The one that picked Wilson or the GM from the previous 3 drafts?

Well played—that was funny.

Why cut Byard? Makes no sense. Yeah he had a down year but our entire defense was trash last season and after cutting Butler and Adoree, we’re already thin in the secondary, who could we realistically get to replace Byard that is as good as him?

As I have said several times in this thread, it depends on if it was just a bad year or a regression. If you think just a bad year, then keep him. If you think it is a regression than this year is a good year to move on—post June 1

I think Byard try to do way to much without casey and Ryan.

He tried to do everything and end it up doing nothing.

What a horrible thread. And y’all are 5 pages deep smh. This board is something else sometimes.

I agree with the problem of the DC—that was a fail. But if you have under performing players and you can move on from them and replace them with cheaper players then you should. And paying a free safety 17 mill is a lot. In few situations is that not an over payment. And this year is a unique one in which there is a lot of veteran talent that can be had for cheap. So for all those reasons I think this is a reasonable question.

He only underperformed because of the coaching...

That is certainly one possibility. Only time will tell if it is the right one.

Not really. Coaching remained the same and so far roster has gotten a lot worse

There is more evidence that he is good than evidence he is bad. When the entire defense was poor, hard to pinpoint one guy.

True. That makes sense. But I leave open the possibility that coaches and GM have more info an have a more thorough evaluation than we do. They see practice. They watch all the film. I can agree that the bad defense is likely the explanation. But it might not be and we just don’t know for sure. We will find out one way or the other what the coaches and GM think come June 1.

END OF THREAD!

If we cut him now yes. If we cut him June first or after it saves 12 mill on this years cap.

Per Spotrac he would still have $14.5 dead CAP after June 1st. They save having to pay him his base pay but it costs them $2 mil CAP space.

One piece of evidence is they restructured his contract last year. They wouldn’t add to the cap for the rest of his contract if they didn’t expect him to produce.

Agreed...then this year happened.

Then that sight disagrees with over the cap, which is what I was using. If that is the case, then clearly we don’t cut him.

He needs to play much better this year or he will be cut in 2022

I agree. This year better look like the first three or he is gone.
