Guys why is no one taking about Jake Long? I know he was hurt this last year, but still a very good OT. Could see him land in SD.

[bigbluedefense]

Bc he's gonna demand a ton of money and I'm not paying 10 mil a season for a LT. It's a waste of money.

so the only person you would pay 10+ million other than a QB is Revis?

Not WR, Pass rushers, LT, Cbs, S? and I don't mean the Elite once every 10 year guys, I mean good-great.

Qb, premier DE and Revis. That's pretty much it. Maybe WR like Megatron and AJ Green.

We also just cut Ahmad Bradshaw.

[Jughead10]

And Chris Canty.

[holt_bruce81]

Why cut Bradshaw?

[Wootylicous]

Because Davil Wilson.

Yeah but you need more than one runningback.

[Wootylicous]

Because Andre Brown.

Andre Brown.

Bradshaw is always hurt. It's really tough to see him go. The guy is an absolute warrior but at 27 he's already over the hill. He's basically been running on two broken feet for the last 3-4 seasons.

We also have JPP, Cruz, and Nicks playing on rookie deals. They're going to get paid and we need room to pay them.

[soybean]

Not sure if mentioned yet but Frostee Rucker was released by the Browns today, most likely due to money issues.

2012 stats:

48 Tackles

4 Sacks

1 Pass Defended

1 Forced Fumble

[Bengals78]

Good rotational player.

[WCH]

Bradshaw to Green Bay please.

[bigbuc]

Bradshaw to Tampa Bay please..... Perfect backup to Doug

[bigbluedefense]

Bradshaw just doesn't have it anymore. He's a touh SOB, but he's a shell of his former self. Dances too much behind the LOS, constantly hurt. He's ok, but I feel there are better cheaper options out there.

[LonghornsLegend]

Bradshaw was an easy release IMO. He can still play but you have to make room to sign your cornerstone players and Andre Brown/David Wilson is more then enough at RB. It was criminal how under utilized Wilson was anyway, fumbles or not, so why not get money back any and everywhere you can.


He won't have issues getting work, I could honestly see the Steelers showing some interest.

Wilson can't block. So he can't play. He'll learn though. The Brown injury hurt us more than anyone realized because it forced Bradshaw to stay on the field so much.

if I have a choice between a LT and Revis and both are of the same calibur I'm taking the LT 10/10 times.

Yeah I am still angry at that under utilization! And the media harped on the fumbles, but they failed to realize he had only 1 fumble and that was against you guys opening night! After that, he learned and fixed it. The fumble excuse was the reason they'd use, but that got old as the season went on and he continued not to be used as much. That falls on our staff for that one.

There isn't a LT who is of the same caliber as Revis, that kind of talent level doesn't exist at that position. I'd take Revis over any LT currently playing in the NFL right now.

[ChiFan24]

Bradshaw has Packers written all over him.
