Tear it up Mock ...

[Riverumbbq]

Those seeking a 2016 Franchise type QB may not be pleased, but seeing Foles thru his expensive contract while looking towards 2017 for our QB of the future allows us to address several other depth issues now. This will also stir the blood of those favoring some of our older veterans, but 4 years of continuous losing under Fisher requires a real shake-up imo. These cuts allow for the re-signing of our most important soon to become free agents while CAP savings also create room for two big names as outside free agent acquisitions. jmo.

I am on board with drafting Stanley and moving Robinson to Guard. That would solve a lot of problems. Robinson has too many holding/false starts and he kills drives. He can try to replace Saffold inside.

The only thing you are lacking is a highly drafted receiver. I doubt Jeffrey hits the market.

Doesn't fix anything(maybe the online) and it makes us worse.

any off season that leaves with Foles as starting QB is a disaster

Well, it's a mock …
Pretty much any potential free agent acquisition can be dismissed as not becoming available, but so long as he isn't under contract, I have to treat him as being on the market.

I am disappointed at not being allowed to edit the OP, for some reason I kept misspelling Sudfelds's name, and Mannion's name should be listed before Foles as well.

If Fisher stays I think it may be a reality.

A little detail on how it makes us worse would have been helpful.

I believe Ogbah & Zettel settle our aging and declining production at LDE for several years. Stanley & Voltz should put the finishing touch on our already young O-Line, while moving GRob inside. Bryce Williams can hardly be worse than Cook, and after receiving a new long-term contract at considerable money, it's time for Kendricks to step into the lead role. Morrison opens competition at MLB between himself, Ogletree, Hager and even Bates. Losing Long, Laurenaitis, Saffold, Cook & Britt creates necessary CAP room for re-signing Jenkins and our other potential free agents, as well as opens space for a couple quality outside free agents. Also gets us an early leg up on re-signing Brockers & Ogletree. Mannion would start the season, Foles would be the clip-board holder, and Sudfeld our new developmental QB. Once 2017 rolls around, Foles' dead money cost drops by nearly $9.mil, and if it's still necessary, we hunt down our 'Franchise' type QB at that time. Blowing up the 2016 draft (and maybe 2017 as well) to move up several spots for a QB isn't part of my agenda so long as we have so many other issues.

I won't visit potential changes with the coaching staff until Fisher is actually released.

Mannion would start.

If I would have been able to edit the OP, this is what it looks like at that 'other' site :

I think Sudfeld is an interesting guy. I am anxious to see how he does at the combine.

Thought he performed well this season despite losing his top 3 WR's after 2014.

I see your point but Jeffrey? If he isn't re-signed, he obviously has a franchise tag waiting for him.

Well, if Jeffery isn't available, I look towards Oakland's Rod Streater or Seattle's Jermaine Kearse.
I also make a play for the very unpopular Josh Gordon as a second WR free agent acquision.

Josh Gordon isn't a free agent unless the Browns release him.
