    He still counts 6.5m - his contract is guaranteed. Post June 1 only matters in terms of a trade.

    Again, unless he is a locker room nuisance and is creating chemistry issues, there is ZERO reason to cut him
    Now that doesn't mean, you play him if he is not worth playing. And if you bring in more depth and Pip is 9th on the depth chart and not 8th, so be it

      Same - who knows - maybe they are exploring all options and hoping some team trades for him

          1. Bringing in a cheaper backup swing doesn't erase the guaranteed money owed to Pipkins. it just adds more cap cost on top of it. no immediate move is the wise course, and JH2 are wise.
          2. Bring in who?

            Don’t really care about the money. I know others do, I just want a better team (hopefully JH2 do too).

            Any vet min dude will do (but if they think Pip is the best one they can get, so be it - but I’m gonna be dubious cuz Pip).

              The writing is on the wall. Drafted Alt. Sign Veteran center and have a young 1st Rd guard Zion.
              Trey now have to compete for 1 guard spot against a young man Salyer who started all 17 games at RG last year and started 14 games at LT his rookie year. And at 6'4 325 that is another 20 pounds of sand in his pants that Pipkins doesn't have. Pipkins hopefully gets traded to Raiders for a 5th Rd pick.
              Who has it better than us?

                All this talk about getting rid of Pipkins is just ridiculous. We need 9 players for the oline and if even one of our starters goes down Pipkins might become the starter real soon as being the 6th best player out of 9 players...

                  With the current roster Alt's best backup is Pipkins. That gives him value.

                          Multiple players will get multiple opportunities at multiple positions. May the best man win!
                          4 of the OL spots seem to be nailed down. RG is open for competition as of right now. Competitors welcome...
