Abject failure.
People were saying they'd be happy if we kept one of the four main guys. We kept zero.
Johnson Bademosi and Craig Robertson were always the key guys anyway!

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

No, just ask Denver. I admit this has set us back a year or two, but we'll bounce back...

On the bright side, so far we have four very good compensation picks for 2017.

I think we have our answer on why Manziel wasn't released today. Releasing him tomorrow can divert some attention.
This is one for the ages.

this is why you don't have business people making football decisions..so far this offseason has been worst case scenario after another...Please sell the team

On the bright side, so far we have four very good compensation picks for 2017. yeah looks like a 3 (Mack) and three 4s (the others), but levels will probably be re-calibrated after the megabucks this offseason. Could be three 4s and a 5 (Benji). Unless they make another ridiculous Houslerish signing.

I feel like the upcoming seasons are going to be more like a recently-displaced-fish-gasping-for-life-on-the-side-of-a-dock type of 'bounce back' than any other type of 'bounce back'.

at this point, lets go ahead and draft Bosa this year, and then finish the season 1-15 (hopefully), and get a "franchise" QB next year. We'll have the number 1 pick.

this is why you don't have business people making football decisions..so far this offseason has been worst case scenario after another...Please sell the team All of the players that left were offered significant contracts. This is not a player evaluation issue, it is a "our team has sucked since 1999" issue.

Maybe I'm just burned out on this franchise but sometimes it feels like they actually try to make the worst possible moves. How long is Jimmy actually going to give Hue Jackson to coach when he racks up a couple 4-12 or similar seasons? 2 years and another blowup? They aren't going to win anything... Obviously not trying to win anything next year which is just mind blowing to me. Can't say I'm going to buy any game tickets. We just lost 4 decent starters on our 3-13 team lol... Ugh

Except they said their goal is to win right away.
I wonder what Sashi "we have a plan" Brown's next move will be.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Okay, so let's huddle and recap. Mack is gone. Schwartz is gone. Benji is gone. Gipson is gone. No one wants to come here. The media is destroying our FO's approach.
Is that it? Okay, good. Ready .... BREAK
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I could care less what the media says, they are all about making declarative statements when free agency does not guarantee a team's future success.
