OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread X - The Search is on! (Scramblin' Fran Edition)

I liked Kendricks, and he was great for us. But this cap clearing move was needed, he had lost a step and Ed Donattel's 3-4 did not work with his brand of LB in any way.

Good luck to him

Ed Donatell is no longer DC so, that shouldn't be an issue. Agree with the rest you said though.

Still running the 3-4 and Kendricks isn't a 3-4 style LB. Flores runs a very aggressive man heavy 3-4. Big reason why PP2 was one of the first to go this offseason. He wasn't great in zone, but hasn't been a threat in man coverage in 8 years or so now.

Well no, he isn't but Flores also runs out of a base 3-4 more than anyone in the league and he's bringing that here. So it made sense that Kendrick wouldn't be the guy under his heavier and more aggressive 3-4.

Was looking for stuff about Rodgers and come across this:

No surprise. He's like a 4th or 5th receiver at this point with only red zone value left

 

[Ban Hammered]

Cook should be next.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Cook should be next.

There is talk of cutting him. High priced RBs are usually a detriment to a team

 

[MuckOG]

Cook should be next.

I think Cook will be released.

 

[Ban Hammered]

I think Cook will be released.

He should be. Too high priced and we are more of a passing offense now. We can do RB by committee.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Apparently a team asked for Cook in a trade.

Even better!

Cutting Cook, Thielen, Kendricks …. end of an era.

Don't know how trustworthy this is

 

[DeagleJenkins]

trading cook is a good move. Have no issue going committee other than hating it for fantasy football

 

[Minnewildsota]

There's numerous outlets reporting this:

Sports Illustrated
Yahoo Sports
Bleacher Report
etc

RBs are a dime a dozen... just draft another in the 3rd round, watch him jump to be a feature back like Cook.

Indeed. Only rb I’m fine with having is Henry because he is a tank

 

[MuckOG]

Sounds like Zadarius Smith is on his way out also

Have a link?
I thought he did ok this last season.

Not all that surprising. He sold his house a week or so ago.

What a douchenozzle

 

[Sad People]

What a douchenozzle

Its not all that surprising even before his request and selling his house. The way his contract was/is constructed it looked more like a year deal from the start, Very little dead cap if we were to cut or trade him.

 

[Sad People]

Probably for the best.

 

[TaLoN]

Probably for the best.

Good move. As I said earlier, he's nothing more than a 4th of 5th receiver at best at this point.
