Tim Barnes getting cut

[Tron]

Yeah, they are drafting someone. I like Elfein from Ohio State.

He who i want as well. Would be perfect for us.

 

[HitStick]

I'm honestly not worried about it. He got zero done in the run game and wasn't the best at pass pro. A rookie would outplay him anyway. I would much rather have Kelce and a pick

 

[CanadaRam]

They need an upgrade at C. Worst case they can get someone just as good (I mean of the same mediocre quality) at half that.

Before free agency:

Coach: OK, Goff. Tell me Three things you want to see changed on offense.

Goff:
1. I can't play QB with my blindside unprotected.

2. I need a WR who can actually hold on the dam football.

3. I need to be able to set my feet before a guy is tackling me. So a new center.

Coach: How Does Whitworth, Woods and Mangold sound as stop gaps.

Goff: Excellent.

Coach: consider it done.

Addition by subtraction.Turnstile Barnes has left the building.

I think they'll get a center in free agency and one in the draft. GO RAMS

Wisniewski & Elflein work for me.

It has to be a FA pick up - I can't see us cutting unless we had an upgrade in the pipeline.

 

[MadGoat]

How about Joe Hawley? He's still got something left and he'd be another veteran voice the team has been lacking.

 

[DR RAM]

Anyone know the cap savings offhand?

Never mind, 2.6 million.

Disagree.An improvement can be found in the draft as well.
Not discounting, one may be in the pipeline,but upgrading from Barnes
is easily done.

Center from Ohio state who's name slips my mind at the moment would be a great get in third round.

$3.mil according to Spotrac.

Best of luck to Mr Barnes going forward. Most of us saw this coming with the talented draft. Watch for Ryan Gory.

:sadwalk:

I suspect that the Org is looking & scrapping around looking for some 2017 cap funds. Player like DE Eugene Sims (3.mil), OL Rodger Saffold (4.2 mil.) & Lance Kendricks (over 4.2 mil) could follow Tim Barnes & his 3 mil or even the over 9 million of a Robert Quinn..

 

[JackDRams]

Damn. Gotta bring in someone. Can't just hope a rookie falls to us we love. Either way, we can't go into the season with Rhaney backing up a rookie.

I like that this staff is identifying weak links the this board has been talking about for a while. That's half the equation in building a solid roster. Great start to The McSnead era IMO.

Agreed!

Notice the lack of blue font.

Thats good news. Im fully aware that people on this board were big fans of Barnes esp because of the road he's had to being a starting center for our team. But bottomline, he routinely gets pushed around. Hes not an NFL caliber STARTING center.
