1. Fire Marrone and Wash. Promote Jay Gruden. Bring in Ken Zampese as OC, who developed Dalton through his prime years and worked under Gruden in Cincinnati. Replace Wash with Capers and identify someone on the current staff who can replace Capers in a year or two. If that guy isn't there, prioritize finding him for next offseason or, if he's a college guy, try and bring him in now as a position coach.

2. Keep Foles at his current rate. The guy won a freaking Super Bowl coming off the bench, and with our starting QB on a sixth-round slotted deal, it's not like paying a backup starter money is going to slaughter us. Keep Norwell at his current rate. He's not bad enough to cut outright, but not good enough to keep by pushing money into the future. Pick up Fournette's option.

Cap cuts: Swaim, Dareus (already declining and lots of options in the draft), A. Jones, M. Lee, J. Ryan
Restructure, possible cap cuts: Campbell, Bouye
"You suck" cut: Cann. Then re-sign Cann so you can cut him again, because he sucks so much that cutting him once simply can't express it strongly enough.
Extensions: Ngakoue, Chark. No, extending Chark isn't necessary, but it sends a message that Coughlin is gone and this team will reward production.

"Splash" FA (try to land one of these): Chris Jones, Byron Jones, Brandon Scherff, Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper
Gap-filling FAs (target value at these positions from B-tier guys): CB, FS, ILB, DT, OG, TE, OT

Draft targets:
Rd. 1: OL, DL, DB, ILB
Rd. 2: All of those plus TE and WR
Rd. 3: TE, WR, DL, ILB, because if we haven't addressed OL and DB in the first three rounds, we suck more than Cann.
Rd. 4-7: Just take the best guy on the board regardless of position.

Intangible considerations: start inquiring about the availability of a comfortable flat within walking distance of Wembley Stadium, because screw driving in London.

I hire Mike Borgonzi, KC Chiefs director of football operations, and then fire myself because he would be a better GM than me.

the first realist to post here. Kudos to you.

If I were hired as GM, I'd probably have an anxiety attack, and resign once I regained consciousness at the ER.

I would be the first GM in history to go with the MBP drafting/free agent approach. I would set up polls on the message board for every major draft pick, trade, and free agent acquisition. That way, everyone had stake in the team and could bathe in the success or failures of the franchise.

LOL!!!

Still an improvement over Caldwell.

I genuine lolled

I would cut Dareus, Bouye, Norwell, Ryan, and Lee which would give us 45 Mil in cap space.

I would then re-sign Yann(21 a year) and then just cheap bargain guys

I approve.
I voted in the original corn and blank #2 thread.
Now if I could only remember what that thread was about... Was it a leftwich/Garrard thing? I was a Leftwich guy til the bitter end if I recall...

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

I would cut Dareus, Bouye, Norwell, Ryan, and Lee which would give us 45 Mil in cap space.

I would then re-sign Yann(21 a year) and then just cheap bargain guys

I'd cut the entire team and pay Yan the entire salary cap and ask him to play iron man football, except at every position.

The kid is THAT good.

....so what you're saying is Tony could set up a decisionbot and make you expendible?

and holy farts we'd have like 15 roster spots taken up by CORN and Blank #2.

(This is what I get for not reading the entire thread first. At least we're a consistent bunch!)

CUTS and KEEPS

Here's local beat writer Hays Carlyon's pretty reasonable take on it:

I'd still cut Swaim and Cann't. Swaim is really no better than the much cheaper O'Shaughnessey as a receiver, and blocking specialists at TE are not typically hugely expensive. Cann't, well, just cann't.

Checking Campbell's contract, I rescind my previous restructuring comment. I thought he had two years left on his deal, not one, and converting salary to bonus if there's only one year left accomplishes nothing. I might, however, try to extend his deal by a year primarily with the intent of pushing a chunk of his $15M salary into 2021 as bonus amortization. If he doesn't want to touch his contract, fine. Keep him at his current price and decide after the season if he's got enough football left in him to re-sign.

There is absolute no reason to keep Swaim. He should be one of the first dudes cut along with Ryan and Lee.

I don't like how Hays keeps Jack as the MLB... we need to draft a true MLB to replace him and let him move over

If Isaiah Williams is there at nine, he'd be about the only player I'd stray from a lineman at that pick for.

Kind-of depends on Gruden's intent for the position group.  Swaim is a solid in-line blocking end that has decent hands and we don't have depth/numbers at the position. So he may be involved in camp if Gruden wants guys with that skillset. I think they can still save over 2 mil by cutting him as late as August if he doesn't meet standards.
