This makes zero sense to me.

 

Damn. Who are we gonna buy now?

 

Wow. Didn't see that coming....

 

wtf? he was going to be our starting CB. Better be a good explanation for this.

 

And Nolan Carroll!....

 

Wouldnt the good explanation be that he was beat out? They obviously wouldn't release him if he was gonna start.

 

Two rooks, one that has been battling an injury all camp and the other either gets burned or an interception. So it's gonna be Grimes, Patterson and Carroll as our three starters? Don't like it at all.

 

If Carrol makes the team I am going to be pissed.

 

It's only a matter of time before Jamar Taylor takes over...never seen Marshall do anything special...does give a nice cushion though..

 

Seems ridiculous. With all the cap room we have, why release your starting nickel corner in a passing league.

 

Everytime he gets on the field he gets toasted. Im sick of him. Zero ball skills. I'm over him.

 

Good. I think you had to see the writing on the wall for one of the two between he and Dimitri Patterson to be released due to salary reasons. Marshall didn't really show much last year and didn't show much this preseason. Kudos to Ireland and the staff for cutting bait.

 

Jamar Taylor played quite a bit over the slot against Houston. I think it makes sense that they look at him there. Or, in an even better scenario, move Dimitri Patterson inside in nickel formations and have Taylor play on the outside.

 

Lets face it .He was a disapointment.He was given a fair shot and he didnt produce.The rookies have shown enough to make him expendable.Plus I am sure there are some cap saving ramnifications.

 

Pretty cray cray, I'm not too upset right now, they've obviously got some kind of prospective reason why they would do this. Oh, and Nolan Carroll will make the team, he's the most experienced gunner on special teams.

Pouncey extension?

 

Hmm, wonder if it is to free cap space b/c we have a trade in the works?

I'm actually surprised tbh, it's not as if our secondary was a track meet.

 

Frees up 5 milly right?

 

Ouch.

Nobody wants him at that salary. Seems like they asked him to take a cut and he refused, as someone said previously in this thread.

 

...

 

Good riddance. He was better as a safety and I dont particularly like him there either. Rarely am I happy when we cut a player whose been here a few years but I not compaining on this one. :wave:

 

An average, overpaid CB coming off a back injury? Not really, IMO.

 

Not really. hes not good. never was as a CB.

 

3rd CB battle is still on!

 

Hopefully this move paves the way for Jamar Taylor to become a starter sooner rather than later. Grimes, Taylor, and Patterson would be a solid top 3. I'd rather keep R.J. Stanford than Nolan Carroll, but I can see both making the roster. Will Davis isn't ready yet.

 

No, definitely not. Then again, he wasn't going to be seeing any snaps if he were buried behind all these cornerbacks. Now, they can throw him in periodically.

 

Then he didn't take a salary cut, good call, Paul.

 

When the cap rolls over into the next season, it makes sense IMO.
