What the actual f*** are they doing? Flowers has been very solid and has a modest cap hit. Have to assume these are precursors to other moves otherwise none of the recent moves make any sense.

Wasn’t Flowers 10m a yr?
I *think* they had 6.5m after Wentz. Added 6.9 w Ioaniddis, 11.8m w Collins, and I believe around 10m a Flowers. So now they should have like 35m in space?
While I liked all 3 players (plus Settle and McKissic and Scherff), they weren’t winning with them, so…..
Let’s wait and see how it all rolls

I kinda like what they are doing. I am vehemently against paying Gs more than 6-8M. The amount of cap allocated to G position last year was so dumb imo.
- Sign Norwell
- Sign an impact MLB (Wagner, Hicks would have been nice)
- Sign a swing tackle to back up Leno/Cosmi
- if possible, sign an impact true FS, McCain moves into the hybrid safety/corner role.
I wonder if JD knows something we don’t. Seems very strange to backtrack and go from signing with a Super Bowl contender with a bonafide MVP candidate at QB to re-signing with Dan Snyder’s Commanders, especially with Wentz at QB who is known for not dumping the ball off to his RBs.
Either way, happy to have him back. Hopefully his neck is all cleared. I still want another RB in the draft but this is one less hole to fill.

Just extend Flowers then. He’s been arguably our best OL the past few years. Cutting him outright is strange considering they lost BS as well. Either they feel very highly about Charles and Schweitzer or there’s another shoe that’s going to drop.

Still feel alright about our line, Flowers was great for us but Charles can fill in for him. Kinda hope we can resign Lucas also. Hopefully Cosmi bounces back as well, I trust our Oline coach, can’t think of his name but have read before he is really respected

We do need to add a starting G and I think former Panther Norwell is the other shoe. Norwell is an upgrade over Flowers. Even with Norwell coming off his worst season and Flowers off his best.
Flowers played well for us but I view Schweitzer as slightly better to even than Flowers. Flowers is not worth 10M. Hes worth 5-6M like what we are paying Schweitzer.

I’m all for bashing the Waffles but this sort of thing seems unfortunately common in the NFL

Browns releasing Austin Hooper ... I like Hooper, not utilized in Cleveland ... TE isnt a huge need but Thomas/Hooper would be nice plus insurance in case one goes down.
Seems like a luxury add and we probably wont do it but I like Hoopers game.

Jeezus, can't they just communicate with their players like a normal franchise does? Maybe Mayhew and the other loser from Carolina are too old to use text messages, and they still send their communication by stamped USPS mail? Like Civil War Generals did.

Like someone said in those comments .. the combine when they were told he wouldnt be released we had 38M or such in cap space and the wentz thing wasnt a thing yet
Agent looks bad
Lying to an agents face about cutting/not cutting a player? I hope that doesn't happen a lot. FO's can get a reputation with agents real fast and not all FO's are incompetent like ours is. We already have a hard time attracting top FA's to sign here, this won't help at all.
No the Schwtaffles look bad. I get that sometimes plans change but the Wentz thing didn't happen overnight. The FO knew they were in the market to sign/trade for a big salary QB already... Wilson, Rogers, Watson, Wentz... this wasn't some unexpected development.

havent seen any options since that look much better. They needed a financial restructuring of many guys (if not a parting of ways). Retool around the core guys…standard.

Waffles always look bad….a given.
Agent also looks bad. Nothing in the NFL is guaranteed other than what you’ve negotiated. Seems like they could of worked something out, but burning bridges won’t help either way.

and that can be a two way street…..what GM wants to negotiate with an agent who might nuke you publicly when things don’t go his way?
