I'm a bottom-line sort of guy and it's looking like we're going to start essentially the same group we started last season with a couple of additions - Samuel, Hurd and Coleman as significant additions. Everyone else? All the bombshell FA acquisitions? Will they start? Who knows. That's how you judge your GM. Who actually makes it to the field. Who actually plays and contributes.

Fire lynch then and bring back baalke.

I wonder who the calls have been for? My guesses are AA, Solly, and Day. I can see a team inquiring about Solly to see if there's a possibility to buy low.

If that is tongue in cheek, ha. Ha. If you are serious, then you must have missed baalke's last 5 yrs here....which in a word...were terrible. When he left we had two starters, Buck and Joe S. TWO! So we can assume this was tongue in cheek.

Those 3 for sure and yes probably a bottom feeder asking re: solomon. But i would also throw in DJ Jones, Julian, virtually any interior other than Buck and Solomon...which means trading or cutting 2 likely starters level DTs. Wish i knew is Valoaga as good as he looked against the 2s and 3s. Hope we see him with the 1s tomorrow. As for RBs, again we got more starter types than we can keep. So at least 1 starter RB gets cut/traded. Then WRs...1 or maybe 2 could get cut/ traded. Exactly who, who knows. Lastly is our 3rd QB who will best be traded in a package deal , (IMO). That comes to cutting 4 or as many as 5 or 6 starters spread over DTs, RBs, WRs and QB. To have that many starters for trade /cut...is a lot , esp for a team with a deficit at OG/C./DB.
It puts John Lynch in a great position to trade prior to cut day. And every potential starter that he doesn't trade for...is just cut, netting us nothing. In that case, i would take a draft pick rather than cutting them outright. If true starter material then a #3 pick possible a #2. But that would have to have a sweetener , eg. CJ.

Could blow up our 53...and I'm ok with that.
