I mean we may get lucky but if we're hoping the answer for our season comes through cuts we're in trouble.

Why did we cut Iloka and LaFell? Do you guys not think they'd be an upgrade for some team out there?
I'm not sure why people think being cut automatically = you're a scrub. Teams dump salary and decide to roll with a younger/cheaper options rather often.
The players that get cut often sign elsewhere for a reasonable rate to get their stock back up. It's possible we could find a guy like that, and they wouldn't necessarily have to be an all-pro to upgrade our right side.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
