Better check his quotes about Joeckel that year. He had a bad draft, no excuses.

Yes, it was Gene Smith's scouts for that 2013 draft.
What is so sad about the 2013 draft is that it still better than any of Gene Smith's drafts?
They are both on a one year prov it deal now.
Just because a guy is no longer starting doesn't mean you can't keep him at the pay level appropriate for a backup.
The real question is if any other team might offer more money. Maybe, maybe not.

Or unless he keeps sucking and he's benched....!!!
Neither of them will be retained barring any serious leap in production at a pro-bowl level and/or nod during the 2016 season. Cyprien might look better this year. Bradley has already said it recently that he'd prefer him to play in the box as intended now with Gipson playing back as the single safety at times. And a lot of that will boil down to how well the front seven meshes together and gets after the quarterback this year. Still have a draft to get through as well. I just don't see either of them doing enough this year to warrant contract extensions. Personally, to me, if it was going to happen it should have happened already.
