my first orders of business for the offseason

[m76]

It has been a few weeks since we all learned the horrific news that Richard will be returning. And although I am not ready to move on or brush that sad fact a side, I do have to move on in the offseason. Quick quip before I give you my players that need not bother trying to keep their parking space at RWS; since 1970 only 32% of new hire coaches had a winning record in the NFL their first season.

Unrestricted free agents:
Melvin Fowler, Angelo Crowell, Jason Whittle, Losman, Jabari Greer

Restricted
John Digiorgio, Keith Ellison

Players who played a prominent role that I want to keep as depth and nothing more:
Keith Ellison
Justin Jenkins
George Wilson (special teams maybe other than that peace out)
Dustin Fox (I guess for deep depth)

Bring Back Angelo Crowell if he is 100% healthy and is willing to come back relatively cheaply, but I doubt he will. Not sure about Whittle but I wouldn't mind bringing him back for depth. Greer will get paid big time ala Jim Leonhard.

Players I want cut:
Jon Corto
Blake Costanzo
Ryan Denney
Bruce Hall
Ryan Lindell
Chris Kelsay
Corey McIntyre
Corey Mace
Robert Royal


Players Who I would invite to camp and seriously consider replacing
George Wilson
John Wendling
Jonathan Stupar
Ko Simpson
Jonathan and Bryan Scott (Bryan is probably safe)
Roscoe Parrish (we're probably stuck with him so our piece of shit coordinator Schounert needs to actually use him in the god damn fuckin offense.)
Xavier Oman
Ryan Neil
Teddy Lehman
Copeland Bryan
Gibran Hamdan

Players that need to be brought back
Alvin Bowen
Fred Jackson (exclusive rights RFA)
Darian Barnes
Ashton Youboty
John McCargo
Chris Ellis
James Hardy

Anyone else not mentioned is safe or safely under contract. OBD you know my demands.. get crackin'.

I am not sure what your problem is with Lindell but why you would want him cut, makes this post look moronic.

[Patrick!]

Also Blake Costanzo led the team in ST tackles, so you kinda fail at life.

Him and Corto were all over the field. I consider replacing Kelsay and Schobel, go after Peppers. I'd keep Denney as he is good depth at his price.

Darian Barnes was cut in October. I'm not enamored with Dennelsay, but cutting them both with no replacements in site? Denney is a solid 3rd DE. I'm also curious why you'd want to cut 2/3 of our special teams, considering they did pretty damned well this year.

why does john mccargo NEED to be brought back?

[buffalofan19]

Forget "need". Why should he be asked to come back at all?

[m76]

fuck you all and your special teams, i dont want undersized pieces of shit at linebacker on this team, they are worthless anyone can make a fuckin tackle on a kick off ANYONE and they don't have to be 5'8.. lindell was like 28th in the league in accuracy you moron he missed a 20 fucking yard kick

Buffalo with Darian Barnes: 4-0.

Buffalo without Darian Barnes: 3-9.

The football gods were not happy with Russ' decision on that one.

I wasn't either at the time; cutting Barnes literally ruined my day when it happened. I had just seen him on Jim Rome the day before and he was hilarious. All the guys on the team loved DB.

His interview with Langston Walker was great as well
