The "Who gets the axe this offseason" Thread

[mandal24]

Whos getting cut after the season?

Easy ones for me would be:
-Porter -He's just not that good, he doesnt fit the character of the team
-Gibril Wilson -Easily the worst starting FS in the league, this years Wilford

Possible cuts:
-Ricky Williams- Its obvious age is becoming a factor but the guy is becoming a turnover machine and cant catch to save his life. I'd rather start Ronnie and use Lex as our prime backup with Cobbs in the mix as well.
-Ted Ginn- He's actually quietly been playing much better and if he takes a pay cut, no harm in keeping him
-Charlie Anderson- He'll probably end up staying bc we need depth at the LB position but he's getting paid to do nothing.

Surprise cut: (to send a message to the team)
-Akin Ayodele- What has this guy actually done? He's a poor mans Crowder.

Cut: Ayodele (bad), Wilson (bad), Nate Jones (if he cant beat Smith I dont see a reason for keeping him), Porter (age), Smiley (injury prone), Camarillo or Bess (they are of the same type and we need a #1), Haynos (no use), Ginn Jr. (he has amazing speed an no balls!), Cobbs (if we get Sproles), Jason Allen (after 5 year he is what we tought AVERAGE), Torbor (cant cover), Taylor (Just because we need younger players to step up).

From the Ireland/Sparano/Parcells regime (drafted):
Players I think will be solid: Henne, Vontae Davis, Hartline, Jake Long and Langford.
Players on the bubble: Merling, Thomas, Dotson
Players that need to prove more: Clemons, Nalbone
Players that I think will be busts: Sean Smith, Turner and Pat White

Everyone on that list will be in miami next season except for gibril wilson depending on if a cba agreement gets done or not. Did you guys not see that 60 yard bomb henne threw to ginn even though the tripping foul wouldnt have effected the play. Ginn is our only deep threat even though hes inconsistent he can be a good #2 or #3. Why would we cut our a starting MLB instead our 3rd string and hes not even making alot of money. Were already thin at LB why would we get rid of porter, hes our best LB belive it or not and it would cost more to cut him and alot less to keep him. Gibril Wilson is a definite cut, not worth the money, worst FS and losing his job to a rookie.

Porter is defintely getting cut. Hes definitely not our best LB.. He might actually be our worst LB. He's terrible against the run, he'll get a sack every 3 games and thinks he's done his job, opens his mouth too much. Hes getting old and its showing. Hes getting paid wayyy too much. JT is playing better, his run support has surprised a lot of us.

All I know is there should be quite a few cuts as soon as the clock hits 0.00 against PIT this week.

Nate Jones plays the nickel and does it quite well. Unless Will Allen can step in and play the nickel Nate is not going anywhere.
Cam and Bess are not the same. Cam is not shifty at all.
Cobbs is the coaches favorite player and did so much for the wildcat and on special teams.

Ginn....one decent game doesn't make him the next #1 wide receiver....or #2, #3 for that matter. Unless of course he has a MONSTER game against Pittsburgh...which I doubt.

Wilson.....jeepers, he has royally sucked this year! 'Nough said!

Porter....age is catching up to him and he seems to be spending more time talking than actually getting stuff done on the field as of late.

I dry heaved when I saw that dropped interception. Jesus christ.

Yes, however, in the uncapped year with very limited free agency, these players may all have trade value.

Also consider that finding true quality 3-4 rush LB's is very difficult.

Also consider that, as bad as Wilson is, he is near the top in tackles for safeties in the NFL. And he is bad, but his stats could get us some trade value, especially if he would renegotiate his contract.

I think Charlie Anderson should go back to a 4-3 team and be an OLB. I think he has improved and could start on a 4-3 team. Definite trade value.

Akin Ayodele should definitely not be cut. He doesn't get paid that much and he is a decent backup. A backup, not a starter.

Porter has been paid most of his bonus which makes even him tradable in an uncapped year IMO. Not much mind you, but we should be able to get something.

Ginn has such a rep that I think the only thing to do is give him one more chance to contribute as a return man and a 4th or 5th WR and then dump him next offseason if he doesn't improve. Otherwise the Pats are going to grab him and use him against us. It may actually be enough to motivate him.

Ya never know with Ricky. Ricky is, well,.....Ricky.

A team like the Rams could use pretty much everybody you listed, especially if they lose Atogwe.

Porter
JT (he won't be resigned)
Wilson
Ayodele

I'd love to see them to cut all the linebackers (except Wake) and just start fresh.Yeah I know it's not going to happen, but if you want to have a great defense you're not going to get it settling for mediocre players.In the 3-4 you need to have above average linebackers who can make plays.
