We'd actually have to eat cap space by cutting Lawrence after this year, so he'll be back, and rightfully so since we aren't going to spend it anywhere else and he's at least elite against the run.Yeah Schultz isn't a weapon. He finds spots in zones well and has solid run after the catch and good hands. I think Ferguson gives you those same qualities with better blocking and effort. So yeah, I rest Schultz if it's close. And right now Schultz wouldn't be getting any franchise tag type money next year. After this season he may be willing to come back at a severe discount.
Our big contracts have really disappointed this year. Tyron Smith, Demarcus Lawrence, Dalton Schultz, Zeke and Dak Prescott. Now some of that will change but right now none of those guys have even turned out a top performance for their position for this team. We may be shedding a few of those contracts after this year. Probably not Dak but the other 4 highly paid guys are probably on their way out.
WTF? How did that person even get in there?
Yep. Elliott needs to go, he’s easily replaced at his current level of performance. Schultz should be replaced with a true hybrid TE like everyone else is using.We'd actually have to eat cap space by cutting Lawrence after this year, so he'll be back, and rightfully so since we aren't going to spend it anywhere else and he's at least elite against the run.
I'd rather wait another year to cut him anyway since I'd like to develop Williams and ideally another high draft pick a bit more on the edge.
As far as Tyron goes, I'd try to restructure his contract to a reduced salary if he's interested in coming back. Start him while you can knowing that you're ready to switch Tyler over when he gets hurt.
Elliott and Schultz can fuck off.
My problem is that I have no faith in them actually re-investing any of this money so it's hard to advocate for cutting a bunch of guys just to watch them sit on it and "roll it over" so they can pay Parsons 35/year in 3 years.Yep.

Tyron would be decent as a backup, at a very team friendly deal. If not, thanks for the memories man.
Im concerned Feel Sorry Jerry will keep them all around at stupid cap numbers because you know, that’s the kind of shit he does.
Yeah Lawrence has one more year here. Which I'm ok with, he is still a good player. But his pass rush has certainly diminished.We'd actually have to eat cap space by cutting Lawrence after this year, so he'll be back, and rightfully so since we aren't going to spend it anywhere else and he's at least elite against the run.

Lawrence is more about run defense it seems at this point, but he's damn good at it.Yeah Lawrence has one more year here. Which I'm ok with, he is still a good player. But his pass rush has certainly diminished.
Watching V Miller tonight…I can only imagine the D we’d have with him and Parson on the field together.My problem is that I have no faith in them actually re-investing any of this money so it's hard to advocate for cutting a bunch of guys just to watch them sit on it and "roll it over" so they can pay Parsons 35/year in 3 years.
If it were me I'd have a very clear plan for how to take the savings and use them elsewhere, primarily on the defense since that unit looks not too far off from being able to carry a so-so offense to a Super Bowl.

Just posting this here for clarity. A whole separate thread is in Around The League awaits because this one is fun.

Honestly, Ferguson is probably going to give us better blocking. Which may be more important right now. I think I'm going all in to try to make a dominant running game to compliment this defense. Let our QB's (Whoever it is) throw the ball 25 times a game and try to pound the ball the rest of the time.Ferguson and Hendershot time.
Never would have guessed Baldinger would have such good/fun little breakdowns, but they're pretty great. And unlike some internet gurus, he really does know what he's looking at.
