    Is something big brewing?

    Clearing cap space by cutting Peterson and Robinson

    Are we laying the groundwork to sign Patrick Queen? Would be great add at position of need. No one in this year?s draft is as good

    Omar is cleaning house. It's crazy how many snaps from last season he dumped today with no identified plan B. Don't know what his strategy is - but no one can say he isn't swinging for the fences.

      In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

        I wouldn't say that until I see who he's bringing in

        I hope he has something good in mind

          This is Kahn cleaning up contracts that weren't matching performance. Neither is worth what they were about to be paid. He likely asked them to take a paycut and they refused so he did the next logical thing and cut them to avoid roster bonuses. I suspect Allen could be brought back at a far more reasonable price. I think Peterson is nothing more than a backup at this point in his career, but he may not see it that way.

            The biggest reason to sign a Russ Wilson is that you'd have $6M tied up in your QB room and could get legit FAs to really fill holes.

              Totally agree. Kahn working some money magic to fill holes and have no desperate needs going into the draft.

              With Weidl at Kahn's, I have lots of confidence going into the draft.

                Whatever happens, you can feel a more aggressive approach to the offseason, post-Colbert. That's something to be excited about! And you just have to think they're going to be pulling out all the stops to the offense this season.

                  That was Colbert's philosophy, sign backups at every position. Use the money to get 2-3 quality starters, then draft others on day 1 and 2.

                    Queen would be a great grab but he may be headed to Seattle as his D coordinator in Balt is now the head coach there.

                      I dont know who they are grabbing but I expect at least one bigger name being signed.
                      Trolls are people too.

                        probably, but as usual I expect more mid-level and bargain bin free agents.

                          Just a few years back 3 hours after f/a started we signed James Daniels 26.5 mil, Cole 15 mil, Chucks 30 mil, Wallace 8 mil Trubisky 14 mil, and M Jack 16 mil. Only Damiels still around. Rather they went big for just two and got higher end guys.

                            That is true and an insanely good strategy if you don?t have a franchise guy.

                              Nah…I think one bigger name. Khan is a different beast. I mean yeah they will fill holes but I could see Khan making one big splash.
