I know I asked this before but is it even possible to sign Romo with Brock still on the team? Or do you just cut Brock?

Sad we couldn't make a trade work, but this will ultimately be better for our cap situation if he's designated a June 1 cut. Godspeed, Tony

Can you cut a guy now and just designate him as a June 1 cut?

You have Brock as a very expensive backup that you will cut the following season

You actually lose $6m in cap space by cutting him this offseason

Yes, but you don't get to use the cap space until June 1 I think

It's pretty much a do-right thing so the player can find a new team before all the FA money has been spent

Interesting, so signing a QB worth a poo poo while keeping Brock for one season won't really hamstring them at all

Yeah the contract was structured so that after 2 years the Texans could cut bait if it wasn't working out. He's only six million in dead money next offseason

I'm sort of getting on board with the Ravens cutting half the team and starting over even though I know it's probably a bad idea.

To recap Tebows game, he went 0/3, struck out looking twice, grounded into a double play with bases loaded, was walked after being hit by pitch but then was doubled up on first when he lead off too far and couldn't get back to the base in time.

He's starting in the outfield on Friday!

Forgetting Harbaugh for a moment, we don't really need to cut half the team as much as we need to get top-end talent. It's not like the team is a trash fire we're going like .500 and most of the games are close. But we lack those real impact players like we used to have that really put you over the top and win you those close games. Cutting half the team probably won't do much for us.

Tebow is like a version of those Hanson brothers from the movie Slapshot. Has no ability to really do anything but his gimmick draws fans so they send him out there.

Meanwhile the MLB has no loving clue how to market it's players so generational talent like Mike Trout and Bryce Harper aren't household names. I have zero interest in NBA and never watch but I know who all the stars are.

No he wasn't. It just felt that way because our coaches' fascination with him led to some of the dumbest play calling.

He is a pretty poo poo blocker for a FB though.

He's signing as a FB/TE hybrid, which makes more sense irt the contract (and his talents).

Well he's no Larry Centers either. And if he's not Larry Centers and he's playing fullback he drat well better be able to block. And he couldn't. So yes he was horrible.
