I think Sproles leaving means PT is staying.

I think Sproles being cut means PT is staying (possible restructured). He is hands down the most well rounded back we have had in a long time. Not to mention the most dependable. I hope he stays (for a hometown discount). PT, Ingram, and Robinson makes for a nice backfield IMO.

After these cuts I think we are close to long-term deal with Jimmy. No grievance by his side. Just don't overpay the man. I'll hate some moves/cuts if everything goes to Jimmy.

Sad, but I agree with everything Loomis is doing. Also, quite frankly, if someone were to give us 2 1st rounders for Graham I'd be happy with that too. Retooling the offense seems like the best route. I just didn't like how our offense looked last year, it felt flat. Nobody ever seemed open We need WRs. We need linemen.

I don't think we're going to be able to find a trade partner. Teams are trying to shed cap space to get under the cap and go for the big dogs in free agency first. No point in trading for him and lose a draft pick when you know you can get him for less on the open market.

You realize Jimmy Graham isn't the reason why we're making cuts right?

Probably not.

We haven't even started to restructure contracts yet and we're under the cap. If we wanted to keep Moore and Sproles, we could have worked something out to retain them. The fact of the matter is that Moore isn't worth 4+ million dollars any more and even though he was a fan favorite, it's a business. His production can be found at a cheaper rate elsewhere. As far as Sproles is concerned, since it appears we're going to focus more on a power running game with Ingram and Khiry, there's was going to be an odd man out between Thomas and Sproles... maybe even both.

I have a feeling we're going to make a big move in free agency.

A great Saint. Quiet, humble, and just got the job done.

Good luck to you as well Darren.

We started it last year on defense, and now this year on offense.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
