Jetsfan80 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Give up on a young LB. I DON'T THINK SO. I do. He's not that good and we have limited cap dollars. It'd sure be sweet if we could keep everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thshadow Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm sure many people will disagree with me, but I'd prefer *not* to draft a QB this year. (Only if the value is extremely good.) I think the best strategy is to draft a developmental-type QB (i.e. 3rd through 5th round) every other year. This way you essentially get 4 years with your developmental QB (currently Petty) to decide if he's got the right stuff. Presumably they're at least competent to be a (cheap) backup in years 3 and 4 (see Smith, Geno). And drafting QBs at the top of the draft - where they're rather overvalued - is more miss than hit. Plus it takes years to figure it out (e.g. Tannehill). It means we go in next year with Fitz/Geno/Petty as our QBs. Nothing that will make anyone jealous (well maybe the Texans), but there's not a clear path for us to have anything better next year anyway. If you draft a development QB every year, you're not really going to be able to give them a chance to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Who are you guys talking about? Coples? Demario Davis. I believe he's a free agent? Unless we have the ability to exercise a 5th year option on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kidding. 5th year option only applies to first rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 He's 24 years old and represents a $675,000 cap hit. Basically the veteran minimum for a player with 3 years of experience. There's no reason to cut him. You cut him to make room on the roster and in training camp for an RB who has a chance of being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with him being a late cut, but until better RB's are found in the draft/UDFA pool, I see no reason to cut him. As I mentioned, my bad for failing to mention in the original post in this thread that it was not intended to be a "final" roster, only the initial moves we need to make before the draft. No reason to cut Stacy until we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
