Well who's staying and who's going , who are the guys we can't afford to lose and who are the guys we can't afford to keep ?

Looks like Chicago is all over Bennett where he would join his brother .

I'd like to see McCoy again , I suppose it comes down to how severe that injury was , but he made some plays at that position for us .

Seahawks have been in contact with QB Connor Shaw as have the Jaguars. I assume its a back plan should TJac get signed elsewhere ?

I really like Shaw too, he looks like Matt Hasselbeck, but is a good leader with strong work ethic.
I don't think you need to draft him in the first few rounds, he is projected to be a late rounder, though I wouldn't mind if we got him in the 3rd/4th round.

As far as FA I think they will keep:

Tate
Maragos
McCoy
One of the DT's.

I hope they try to sign or keep:

Breno
Clinton "the truck driver"
TJack
Haushka
Mike Rob (he might retire though).

 

[Idahawk]

Maragos is one of those dudes you don't think about all that much , but he's huge on ST and he seems to be in on every play . Most of the time it's losing these little parts of the whole that hurt more than say a bigger "star" player .

Adam Schefter said we have re-emerged as the favorite to land Bennett. Chicago has him as their #1 priority.

What? When did you hear this? Sounds like a bidding war.

I <3 F.Agency!

 

[Idahawk]

Oh it will be a bidding war alright , there's always that team lying in the weeds with tons of cap space

28.5 M / 4 year - 10 M in 2014... now thats smart cap management!

Yeah, he has interest from multiple teams but we may drop out after resigning Anthony McCoy.

I think Miller time may be over .

Hard to say, they can still restructure. I can say I have no doubt Clem is probably gone though.

 

[Idahawk]

Isn't there like 5 TEs on the roster now ? I think the message to Miller is clear , restructure or else

Ouch , what a way to find out your being released . Carolina Panther WR Steve Smith was asked why the team shop is no longer selling his jersey , he said he didn't know .


Edit

Apparently their trying to trade him not release him .
