Who Won't be Here Next Season

[Mongo3451]

I was looking at next year's cap and there is not much room.  Players that probably won't be here are Edmunds, Kmet, Moore and Jarrett.  I say this because the first three are cap friendly cuts without huge dead money.  Jarrett is simply not a need and high salary. (Wasted signing so far). The 25 draft saw us select Moore, Kmet and Jarrett's potential replacements.  That Dayo signing looks to be a bust as well, but I don't know if he's cut-able.  I know this has all been discussed before, but I thought the 25 draft was cool inclusion.

Who else?  Kiran?

Agree with all of this - the writing has been on the wall since the draft. And your rationale is the reason - it's not that Moore isnt a good WR he IS, but is he the best expenditure of $20M on this roster with Burden coming up? Probably not.

But Moore is a good player, we will trade him, and not just cut him of course. Not saying you said we would cut him! Just he is probably worth something decent in trade.

Im sure there will be some, but. I thought some would have happened before this season but it never happened.   

Poles and Johnson will have to make some difficult decisions once the season concludes.  I dont think they know much yet since the team is only starting to take mold.  Two weeks ago, Swift was a goner, now he is firing.

So true re: Swift. I thought he was gone for sure, now that he's playing so differently than he ever did, he can play himself into being kept.

And youre right that Poles and Johnson will wait for the end of the year to do formal analysis. Thats right too.

But anyone casually looking at our cap can see that Moore, Kmet and Edmunds are likely to be gone. Kmet can still possibly play his way back, but hes a little too expensive.

Kmet to me is in a difficult 'evaluation' phase due to neither he nor Loveland have really been used much in the much ballyhooed 12 man offense that Johnson is known to deploy. Unless that is if you consider the TEs as primarily blockers...then 'yeah' maybe.  Of course now with him possibly injured that complicates  things more for him.  

I have a concern of letting him go would equate to a Greg Olsen type loss.  Where he would flourish into an HOF TE when utilized properly. 

Moore yeah....as much as it pains me....Burden is that guy...at a much lower cost.

Jarrett - no joke.  Has he even played yet?

Edmunds...sadly he's come on late in his career but I could see either Sewell or Hyppolite (especially) supplanting him.  In reading the injury report, Edmunds is listed as "Questionable" so maybe we'll see some of Hyppolite this weekend as he's currently listed as his backup.  

And I'd add another for consideration.  That being Swift.  I'm a huge fan but I could see him doing well enough the rest of this year that he could be a valuable trade piece to a team that needs a decent RB (at least on paper).  And if my theory is correct that Johnson is good at adapting to his player's strengths and continues to effectively use outside zone, then he can really plug and play a similar RB in there to get 1,000 yards.

If we win this weekend I think it's possible some more chips are going on the table for this season, maybe for someone like Maxx Crosby.  Everyone that is mentioned in the above posts are all candidates who are good players but can be shuffled off the roster to make room to fill a bigger need.
