re: Trey Hendrickson requesting a trade

then why did they let him go in the first place? It wasn’t performance. Also why do they keep restructuring older players and keeping them longer?

Well, they had used assets to draft DE's so, they had to dump the project that worked out.

I wonder if not being able to add players because of cap issues is a factor.

Its not a question of can. Any team can add whomever they want under the cap using the tools provided by the league and union. Its a matter of should/want.

Chase You g and Trey Hendrickson would immediately upgrade us from worst to first in pass rush.

In other words they opted for cheaper though unproven players? Why would you do that if the cap is “make believe”.

When you have to resort to silly semantics games it indicates you don’t have a good argument. Most of you confuse the fact they are cap complainant on the required date with the cap being “make believe” or because it always goes up. They get under the cap by restructuring and extending contracts on already old players. Were they to just cut certain players or if someone like Ram retired they would have a large cap hit. That would be money for a player not on the team, that does limit their ability to make moves and improve the roster whether you believe it or not.

There’s rumors Hendrickson has an “acquired” personality that rubs some the wrong way but I always lived him because he played balls to the wall every snap. I’d love him and Young together.

Trey was a cap casualty so we could afford Michael Thomas
