Miller and Floyd play the same position. We don't exactly have loads of cap room. We can't cut Floyd because of cap implications (dead money). So I pose the question, do we trade Floyd next season? Or do we let Miller walk? Or do we do a bunch of gymnastics with the cap so that we can keep both edge rushers?
I'm pretty sure they will play opposite sides and play at the same time.
Can't speak to the political website Atlantic, but Athletic, you get everything.
But really though, I did the $1/month for 6 months with all intentions to cancel. But I love it more than any other site.
This year obviously. I'm talking about next year. That's a lot of money for two premiere edge rushers. It definitely deserves to at least be a question if we can devote that much money to two edge rushers.

You can scroll down to old articles. I never tried but if you typed a writer in the search I’d think a list of articles would appear.
If you like other sports it’s well worth it. They have amassed an impressive array of reporters. I specifically follow the Rams, Yankees, Penn State, and Penguins. There are several others I could follow but the enormity of quality writing would cause me to spend even more time on my phone than I do. I already am on it too much.
Edit: I tried to scroll down to old articles. It didn’t seem to stop. I quit at the Rams/Bears game articles.
There's no way dude, why would we trade Floyd? He's in the prime of his career and playing his best football. We now have bookend edge rushers. Even if they're used to playing the same side, one of them will transition to the opposite.
The whole point of this move is to give us the best pass rush in football which we now have. And regarding cap space, seems like people forget all the Gurley and Goff dead money are coming off the books after this season. Plus the salary cap is going up ~$15M at least. Plus extending Stafford will give us another $10M. That is a ton to play around with. We can resign Von and another player or two. That's not even mentioning if big Whit retires we'll have another $13M opening up.
That's where the money should go. QB, LT, elite corner and pass rush.
I don't see Floyd going anywhere next year but roster building it's a fluid thing so it could happen i guess.
I think they trade Robinson in the offseason. Saves $7-8M. Won't get much...probably another 24' 6th, but it dumps salary.
True, but with the lack of picks, it's critical they resign their young OL... Corbett, Allen, & Noteboom. At least 2 of them have to be back, especially with Whit likely retiring. They simply don't have the draft capital to replace them.
When you buy a Porsche snd realize the cost of insurance and maintenance…do you immediately start looking for buyers for the Porsche. Hell No!!! You ride that Porsche hard and fast and don’t worry about it until the bank forecloses on your house.
I'm just saying, you have a Porsche and you come home with a 2015 Lamborghini, someone is going to ask if you are willing to part ways with the Porsche. Its not an absurd question. Of course you want to keep both!
You know what? Everyone keeps talking about the VM trade and how he’s taking us to the promised land (me included) but something kept bugging me that just wasn’t sitting right…. and BINGO!
We definitely need to redefine our defensive philosophy… I mean we can’t just trot our D onto the field with Bend Don’t Break mentality anymore. We can’t, and shouldn’t waste a great pass rush because our DBs are playing 10 yards away from the receiver. … That crap just drives me nuts!
Hoping Morris decides to take more chances and play more press coverage... but seriously when you have #5 back there, not sure you can categorize that as taking a chance ..

Ppl at work today came by my office and said they were jealous of all the moves the past few years.
Gotta a little skip in my step now.

Denver had him strong side for better matchups vs the RTs and because he was strong enough to set that edge. He isn't the old Von on his rush but current Von is better than most blindside rushers. We're good blindside now.
