"Gettleman /Cap Value /Vernon,Collins,Snacks,Jenkins and OBJ
Breaker : 7:05 am
Vernon, Collins, Snacks vs Jenkins. And then OBJ.
If you have a bad team and no salary cap space it means your talent evaluation at all levels was poor. If you believe you are a better talent evaluator than your predecessor then you have to reset the roster.
Listen to DG and the word repeated so often is "Value". His entire frame of reference is the salary cap. Jumps out at you every time he talks.
Vernon very straight forward. Good player when healthy but hurt too often and carries a $19MM price tag. Take the dead cap hit and move on. Able to swap him for a near pro bowl guard at $9MM lower cap hit. A real brawler with solid technique in area of great need.
Collins most of us loved. Warrior, great tackler, played hurt etc. When drafted the rap was he was an in the box safety. Proved true over time but still a solid player. Don't make the pro bowl being shitty. But not at that salary cap hit he was going to get. Can't pay a one dimensional safety $13MM. Was offered a late third round pick by KC at trading deadline for the 2019 draft. Instead we should get a third round compensatory in 2020 draft. Yes one year difference but not going to kill DG on that. Bottom line he didn't want to give Collins mega contract and didn't want to franchise him and have a grumbling player.
Snacks we loved as well. However,had an escalating cap value hit within his contract combined with deteriorating knees. Was playing 50% of snaps towards mid season? Will see with Lawrence. Can't expect prime Snacks level performance but should be very solid at half the cap hit. Younger, healthy and cost controlled for at least four years. Instant starter. Great attitude.
Jenkins still playing solidly and they like his competitiveness. Cornerbacks are fourth highest valued positions in football after QB, DE, OT on average. As long as he's playing solid they keep him. But at a $14.8MM cap hit they better be right. Will see but they are talking like he is staying. Cap savings by cutting him I believe in $7MM range but he's the only proven top CB they have. They DO have to field a respectable team and show improvement.
OBJ. Not even going to get into it. I like the move just based on I don't think I want my team allocating $19 million a year to a WR position. Period. Don't think any recent Super Bowl winner had a WR taking up that percentage of cap space. Can't be a coincidence. Value received in the trade is undeniable.
DG has to balance his eye for value with keeping the team and fans not thinking it's all dollars and cents. But in a salary cap league there is no other way to have sustained success. Allows you to build a deep roster and have depth. Starts with good talent evaluation..
Good luck DG. Don't pay attention to the jackals. If you listen some of them are actually getting a clue and getting informed on what you are doing."
