Why are they letting everyone go on defense when they were so good defensively last year? They’re setting up the offense to fail by needing them to win shootouts every week.

Yeah I’m confused too. My guess is they want to build thru the draft - I’m hearing it’s pretty loaded with DEs so we could replace Suggs and Smith with a couple young guys which I’m ok with but it def feels like a step back from where we were last year

I like what we’re doing

It looks like going forward we won’t be stuck in cap hell anymore

So if a player becomes available that they really like we’ll have the room for them

I don’t any of the 4 guys we lost were worth keeping

Most of their replacements are already on the roster

You never let talented and young players leave thinking you’ll just draft a good replacement. That’s just asking for trouble. It’s the mentality that led to them wasting a pick on Perriman a few years ago.

Dudes may not be special individually, but as a unit they had it together. That's a lot of pieces gone. Who is going to lead the D and have the green dot with both Mosley and Weddle gone? They were lost when both were hurt at the same time. Who rushing the QB? Offense better get a whole lot of talent and Lamar better have a big offseason workout

So you want us to continue to overpay average players?

Thats the reason we’ve been in cap hell for so long

CJ not worth 17 per year and ZaDarius definitely not worth 16.5 per year

DeCosta is doing the right thing by letting them walk

Its up to the young players like Peanut,Kenny Young,Tim Williams,Tyus Bowser,and Deshon Elliot to step up

They’ll probably add a vet a safety for insurance and draft another pass rusher amd ILB

We’ll be fine on defense

Right. Kind of hurts in the moment to see all these dudes go, but it'd hurt a lot more if we were saddled down with the contracts they've been getting so far.
