Fiarbarn (Texans) got $5M per. Dicker is better than him

$930,000 cap savings? It’s tempting.

Thing is, they have to have 53 players on the roster by a set date, right? So they would need to replace him and I think most players would cost more than him. I could see setting him loose because he sucks, though!

I think the new coaching staff needs to at least see what they have in Woods and Spiller before releasing them

And in reality, the true cap savings is like $400k as they will be paying somebody on the roster at worst the league minimum. Now, if they do it - I won't lose a wink of sleep but I do think have to at least get through OTAs and off-season drills.

Ben Herbert has many players to work with : Rumph and Matlock but I think Woods too.

Yes, but we have to get below the cap soon and there will be players available that are better for near or at his salary. Woods is a finesse player who doesn’t seem to fit Harbaugh’s tough guy model.

I would agree with this, especially for the money. Did the nature of Wood's illness/injury ever get made public?

Ari is saying that if the Chargers take a tackle at 5 they blew it

If our coaching staff feels we need to upgrade the oline to run what they want, should we care what someone with no insight into their plans thinks?

Sign Justin Simmons.

[Charge!]

Sign Justin Simmons.

That would be a great add.

Instead of trying to find a way to keep all of our overpriced vets, would it be a better approach to trade away or release: MW, Bosa, Mack, Murray, etc...... to give us cap room so we can add several mid range FA's who give us more bang for the buck?......maybe we only rework KA and DJ to lower cap hits.....

Sanjay Lal - meet QJ

every day -- if he can take a big leap - huge for the offense

I don't see them moving on from MW, Bosa and Mack only to sign a guy like Simmons who would probably be pretty pricey. Gilman will be cheaper. Simmons has been a very good player, good teammate by all accounts, in the community but moving forward, is the the same guy he has been.

Plus - Allbright thinks he wants to go to a team that can win as with Denver, zero playoffs in 8 years.

Well OTC lists him signed for $985k - so my guess that is the RFA amount. He was outstanding last year. Maybe OTC is just assuming he will be tendered - which he should be 100% - even if it was like $2m tender - he is worth. One more cheap year for Dicker and next year, he will get a nice raise

ERFA amount which i dont see they have made yet.
