I really, really, really want to see Mark Barron behind this DL with Suh, and if possible next to Navorro Bowman. It would be beastly, IMO.

...just kidding @Legatron4 although I would have some differences with you. Tavon not listed? Greg the Leg- pro bowl for days, and I wouldn't write Barron off yet either. Great post!

This is for starters. Tavon is a backup. I like him but would probably put him under most improved.

Also, doing this made me realize how stacked our roster really is. The fact that a guy like Brandin Cooks could be the 20th best player on a team is pretty mind blowing.

I think Higbee deserves another season. I know he's had drops at times. But, he's had some good grabs as well, and some in crunch time.

That’s Goff’s Boy !!

Higbee might be The Biggest Surprise!!

Sampson should be most improved !!

Greg the Leg ???????

Cool List except for the Cuts. That cut ship has passed for these 3 though I wouldn't be shocked if there was a Barron or Tavon trade.

As thin as they are at LBer no way that Barron is going anywhere. I look for him to have a big year in this defense, Tavon on the other hand is a different story.
 
Like I said in another thread, Brokers is probably the one that is going to benefit most from the Suh signing. I expect a breakout year. Offensive lineman are going to know what to do with our front three, but can they do it? So much emphasis is going to be on Donald and Suh that Brokers is going to slip right by them.

I think Williams in Cleveland would love to get his hands back on Barron.

Like your list Bro.

Don't get people who are obsessed with Cutting Barron this season. Dude was a good LB statistically last year. Maybe not top 5 in the league but we can't upgrade everywhere at once. I do see us cutting him or restructuring next season. The hit is way less significant for what it would have been this season which doesn't make sense with the type of value he provides.

Also no way Sully or Higbee is cut this season either.

I seem to have a knack for taking a liking for players that nobody is really on the bandwagon for on D and they do well. Loved JJ, McCleod, Samson Eb, Westbrooks etc. However, on offense I must say I have shit for an eye on darkhorse O talent because my guys always get cut or never play! lol

I'm still split with Jamon Brown. Maybe it was that old O Line coach that f'd him up IDK.
 
Obviously I am not a fan of seeing a cut list and Mark Barrons name happens to be on all of them...I am still puzzled to why?.
