If Scherff had said last offseason "I dont want to be here, I dont like this team but Im under the tag for another year so I will show up when my contract says I have to show up." ... we would blast him.

I get your point but There is a middle ground, the normal "I let my agent deal with that" is sufficient. No need for disruption or fake sentiment either

Another hole to fill. Are they reacting or was this the plan I wonder. If so , why let Settle go?

[Chico23231]

If you are clearing for an offer to Wagner…ok i get it. But you need to be explaining why settle and matty I departing

Cutting Ioannidis saves $6.9 million vs. the cap. They did make a last-second mild push to keep Tim Settle, but weren't close to Buffalo's offer...

I didn't think the Buffalo offer was that big

[SunnySide]

matty I has 1 year left, 8.3 cap hit, 1.5 dead,

6.8 in cap savings w release

----------------

Currently on roster:

2 IDL - Allen and Payne

5 End/Edge - Chase, Sweat, SmithWilliams, Toothill and Toney

-------------

Perhaps we extend Payne, add a decent depth IDL or were going 3-4 lol

Settle move seems strange now.

All this roster depletion .... for Carson Wentz.

fucker better be worth it

[punch it in]

So our giant off-season with so much potential has turned into losing Scherrff, McKissic, Settle, Matty I, and Landon Collins. We kept Apke, and McCain , Larsen and signed Carson Wentz. Ouch. Im not seeing improvement. Wentz better be worth it, and we better hit on every one of our what 5 draft picks. Im hoping there is some other big name signing coming or a handful of solid ass depth guys or what did we just do?

It appears to me that this regime is into giving players away, and over paying for new ones that may not be as valuable as ones we are giving away. In other words nothing has changed.

[EdmundDorf]

Three picks in the first 5 rounds, cannot fill all the holes

[calia]

Man, all of a sudden, we went from a young, deep DL to a thin DL in need of help. Geez. That they couldn't find a way to keep Settle and/or restructure Matt I's contract is troublesome. Unless those guys wanted to leave (which is possible), I'd like to think that some creative cap manager could do that. Matt I will get snapped up in a heartbeat.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Could be looking at creating cap room for someone with that savings.

Matty I had a nice couple seasons in 2018 and 2019, but he missed 13 games in 2020, and had 2.5 sacks in 16 games last year.

They can bring in that kind of depth/production for cheaper either in free agency or the draft.

As much as I try to stay in "wait and see" mode, it's hard to disagree with any of this.

[EdmundDorf]

According to Keim they weren't willing to match Buffalos offer, doesn't mean Settle would have accepted of course, but still
