I wouldn't mind losing Bethea or Kap, both are replaceable with what we have. Reid I'd like to see what he does this year though. Hopefully we're active in trading players while we can, before they have no value to us anymore, or other teams.

Even if someone wanted Blaine as the starter.
Who do we have right now that replaces Kap? Thad? Dillan? Driskel? Please. And no is going to trade for a 13mil dollar backup QB unless their starter gets hurt for a long time.

5 QB's on the roster = Thompson and Lewis get the axe.

9 CB's on the roster = surprise cut, Tramaine Brock and Keith Reaser

Agree on Thompson. Something is nagging me about the Lewis signing. Still thinking about that, but it is the obvious call with spending the pick on Driskel.

Interesting call on Brock and Reaser. Wouldn't be surprised though.

I think the Lewis signing was a "just in case" signing, meaning just in case they trade Kap they have Lewis to back up Gabbert. They signed him for dirt cheap so no harm no foul.

I think Dontae Johnson played good enough to nail down on of the jobs at Corner. And I also think Baalke wanted to add some size to the position with the attempts to sign Sean smith and Josh Norman. So I think that leaves the injury prone Brock hanging out to dry, especially now that Jimmie Ward stepped up his game. I think the Corners will look something like:

Dontae Johnson
Jimmie Ward
Will Redmond
Rashard Robinson
Kenneth Acker

Jimmie Ward will possibly allow them to save a roster spot since he can play both CB and Safety.

Kaepernick & Anthony Davis please!

Jed/Trent appreciate your support and PSL payments.
Why mention Anthony Davis, he's retired. I thought Kap would be gone for a 4th the last day of the draft. Bethea must go to give others PT.

Pretty sure Thad was hired to help teach and model the offense. IMO, He'll be a film/meeting room resource who gets cut when the room catches up to him.
Bethea, Brooks & Brock would be my best guess to be on the move sooner than later
Bethea is my top candidate. Ward is coming back to safety and we also have Tartt and Reid so it would make sense to trade or cut the oldest and most expensive guy.

Brooks is also a candidate if Baalke wants Blair to play OLB.

Brock maybe traded because we have lots of CBs.

Vance McDonald is also an option but I don't know if anyone is going to give anything for him.

That makes sense to me. Him having knowledge of the offense is what I was trying to figure out and have make sense in the scheme of things.
Bethea? Miller? Maybe a CB since we're so deep?
Bethea
Brooks
Brock
Possibly a surprise WR
Miller
Brooks
We should trade MBC to the Seahawks forum

bethea is going no where in my opinion. neither is brooks as we need all the good pass rushers we can get. if miller can not cut it as a tight end then maybe we ship him to some fullback needy team for a 7th or if we are lucky a 6th.

It could be Brooks with his salary.
