That’s a no for me.

At this point it’d be kinda an asshole move to cut ANYONE that’s been here since camp. Huber is the exception because his ass knew Drue was taking his job this year.

I would hate to cut anyone that was here since camp just to sign a guy who will become obsolete when everyone is healthy. I would much rather just depend on our depth

And, just how many starts has Carmen or Scharping, or even offensive snaps for that matter had this year??  One of them is disposable. At this point in the season, loyalty means squat if your goal is to go deep in the playoffs. People remember AFC Championships and Super Bowls, not loyalty.  

If we were a 6-8 team then loyalty to a player would be a relevant point, but that's not the case here.  Call me an asshole, but assholes win Championships.  Do you think Belicheck would worry about being loyal and hurting someones feeling if his team was ready to go on a playoff run?  No, Belichick would cut one of them in a NY-second, show you his rings, and tell you where to stick them if you think he's an asshole.

We have a GLARING need at DE and two that may need to rest until the Baltimore game to win the AFC North. Sam could be finished, and Trey may not be 100% until week 2 of the playoffs (6 weeks from the time of injury.) Aside from Ossai, a situational pass rusher, our DEs are average at best.

Cutting Scharping changes nothing on the Oline.


Your loyalty is what many around here hate about Mike Brown. Personally. I have no problem making a move to help a current issue than not do it in case something happens. 

We currently have a situational Edge rusher and a 4th RD pick out of Tulane as our starting DEs. We have 7th RD pick to rotate with them

Bfine32, You speak like an actual person looking to win in the playoffs, who knows there are tough decisions to be made, and who recognizes that we have a glaring weakness at DE that needs to be addressed.
