I don't think GMs cut players, they might offer advice, but that one is on Urbz.

Yeah I see Baalke more as a partner to the HC and not the boss of, especially a coach like Pederson who has a Super Bowl pedigree. Coaches generally want full roster control. I would think Pederson is involved during scouting, free agency and the draft which are usually considered primary functions of the GM position.  I think the one area the HC probably isn’t involved in so much would be contract negotiations.

And as much as people want to hang every little perceived slight around Baalke’s neck, I seriously doubt he has more input, if any at all, than the HC on cutting players.  Especially guys on rookie contracts paying peanuts like Quincy was.
