K Graham resigned, QB Ryan Released

If Griffin goes I'll be pissed

Its nit like dropping both kickers didn't bring a little attention

With the extra cap money from Champ Bailey why couldn't we pay more and get a stellar kicker

Griffin wasn't all that... I was impressed one game from him and besides that nothing.

He isn't our future.

We would be lucky to get a 7th for Griffin
Mallet just went for a 6th rounder and he was more touted that Griffin.

I would like to have kept him.

Well... they reached out to me for the kicking job. Being French, I am a soccer style kicker, not quite as good as Kickalicious, but not far off. We were negotiating, but I abruptly turned them down. They had no choice but to resign Graham.

Yet another move reminding us that we don't know a whole lot. Griffin and Bailey out, Graham & Dixon in? No one had that. Edebali, Powell, Fortt AND Knox make it, but only 5 CB's?
Remember that SP makes the personnel decisions, and Mickey cuts the checks...seems like they might have a plan for the $3.2 mill in cap space we have left

Don't like either decision. Understand both. I would have signed Barth and placed Lorig on bring back IR. Barth is simply a better kicker with an upside and Johnson can hold down the limited role of FB down until Lorig is healthy. For the ones saying Griffin can't win now, you clearly didn't watch him with the 1's, and you're mainly just rationalizing the FO's decision. The guy can and will play in the NFL. Outside of one drive in preseason, McNown looked like the journeyman 11 year vet with 9 TD's and 14 ints to his credit. The Rams will claim him because they have absolutely nothing to lose by claiming him. That being said, Griffin could go unclaimed and the Saints may sign Barth next week. You never know. Hopefully, neither will play a factor in whipping the Falclowns.
