I'm simply saying that if we are adding a player it does not really matter which of those 4 are getting removed because I don't expect any of them to contribute even a little bit.Moving what goal posts? You inserted yourself into the conversation that had goal posts and changed them yourself all while being aggressive in your wording.
As far as whether the 14 and 15 spots are going to be developmental, vets or cheerleaders, reports seem pretty clear they are going for cheerleaders. I don't have nearly enough grasp of that locker room to have any idea if that is a great idea, pointless or somewhere in between.
It seems like every year there are arguments about the 14th and 15th spots and it never really seems to matter. We had 6 guys get significant minutes in the playoffs. My biggest concern is who is going to be 7 and 8 in next years playoffs. Then I have interest if we are going to add some young guys either through draft or MLE or both somewhere in the 9-12 slots. Then I have mild curiosity if we are going to add a vet at 13 (may not given the tax situation). By the time we get to 14 and 15 I just don't think it makes much difference. There are only so many developmental guys you can have on a competing team. Green is worth a look for at least another year, you can make an argument for Frank, and we may have 1 or 2 other guys coming in. That is more than enough. One could easily make the argument that of the bottom 6 guys on our 17 man roster the two cheerleaders provided the most value (its a low bar). If this FO thinks that and wants to go with it, so be it.
