    Foster should be next.
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

      Not surprised by this move. Foster is next and hopefully we rethink Vance. He isn’t worth the money IMO.

        The next 2 bug contracts to save money are McDonald and Barron.
        Either those guys go or some serious restructures have to be done.
        We really are in a tough spot with McDonald. Zero behind him.

          With the new CBA, we might actually be able to extend McDonald to lower his cap hit. Convert salary into a bonus. Could be win win for both sides

              Chick could be headed to the Pats. They showed an interest a few years back.

                If he produces with Ben back, like he did before, it's not really kicking the can.
                We have no choice but to believe all our guys will be back to normal with Ben. As we should.

                  I think this is exactly what will happen...

                    what’s normal? I though he underperformed and Ben pretty much ignored him half the season.

                      Typical Tomlin favoritism...How do you justify keeping Fat Ass Foster...He swelled to over 400 pounds, And was so sloppy he couldn't even get out of his stance... You're really gonna keep an old fat slob like that for the money he makes smh

                        Like i said before.
                        He was 12th in receptions
                        11th in yards
                        9th in tds
                        And hes getting paid around 13th in the league.
                        Sounds like he is producing right at his pay scale.
                        7th in first down catches
                        Roughly 6th for 1st down % (with tes having 25+ catches)

                        And he is getting paid 13th.
                        So it looks like he is producing right at his pay rate.
                        How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

                          I think he will be cut shortly....relax a bit.

                            Chick has been overrated much of his career, but he's OK, not garbage. Barron was a dumb signing. Chick is OK as a backup, but $5 mill a little much for what he brings.

                              That's just too much $ for his value. Move on. Need a little push towards youth.
