Who would be the odd man out if we don't keep six?


Recommended Posts

Roddy

Jones

Jenkins

Meier

Douglas

Weems - Even though he made the pro bowl last year, I still would have to say that he's probably the odd man out.

Hope like heck we keep six.

This has been discussed to no end on this forum...

I will tell you that Weems is no way going to be the odd man out (assuming we have a contract in place for him).

Jenkins Meier and Douglas are not worth as much to this team than Weems.

If you can tell me what HD can do for this team that Weems cant I may reconsider but I know Weems is a PRO BOWL ST's Gunner, a PRO BOWL returner and hasn't dropped a pass thrown his way.

HD is a guy who we all hope can reach his potential but you can't cut contributing players for guys who haven't really shown you anything and ceiling isn't higher than the other player.

Meier we all know because the coaches say he practices well... As AI would say... "we sitting here and you guys talking about practice.. Not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice".

Jenkins is also in trouble he has a large contract and has to prove he can contribute to the team in a #3 WR role.

HD has shown great potential prior to his season ending injury. It takes a couple years to fully recover from the kind of injury he had. This could be his year to shine and contribute.

I put in bold the key word...

So you would rather let a guy go who had a MAJOR contribution last year (Some games he was a key player) for a guy that COULD breakout.

My money is on HD. Can't wait for the games to began.

I think we'll cut the guy who makes the most money, not named Roddy or Julio.

Julio's blocking will compensate for the lost of #12.

The rest of the guys on the list can more than make up for his underrated play on ST as well.

Other than that, it wouldn't be much of a drop of if any as far as making plays from the receiver position.

Don't get me wrong I hope HD is great but letting this guy go would be a BIG mistake..

When I watch this I see a player that is doing a lot for us now and I hope we give him more opportunities at WR because he could be a BEAST in the slot, and this isn't even counting him being one of the best ST defender in the league.

Slight correction Weems was not the pro bowl returner, just ST

Devin Hester was the NFC returner in the last pro bowl

I def not saying get rid of weems but the need for a kick returner/gunner became a lot less important with the new kickoff rule changes

I kind of agree with that but the punt return game is still a big part...

But I view Weems as this years Grimes.. He just needs his opportunity to show what he can do and I think he will be great.

I agree. I think he could make a difference in the passing game this year. That might make HD almost expendable. They are kind of similar type players

meier or douglas. probably meier. I dont even know why everyone is so big on the dude.

Not sure why everybody is so high on Meier either. Because coach said something positive about the guy once? Does anybody really think that coach would have said ANYTHING negative about a young guy on the roster with no playing time in his career thus far? Meier & Douglas would have to be the bottom two on the list and TC/preseason will determine which one stay & which one goes most likely.

I think it is a good chance that Jenkins gets cut. If not, I definitely feel like we will try to restructure his contract. He will be making way too much for a #3 or #4 WR. Especially since we have some key guys to resign.

Sounds like with the new CBA we're going to have meet a certain level of payroll & that rookies are not going to get nearly as much as they used to be paid. Veteran players are supposed to be the ones to see the increase in salaries, and if that works out to be true, then what we are paying for Jenkins may be right in line with market value.

weems blew it up this season. there is no way he's going anywhere. not to mention he is a solid gunner on ST's too. if they don't keep all 6 it'll be meir or jenkins.
