What have any of our rookies or UDFA's proven at the NFL level? You have stated you're looking at this as a totality of weapons type situation when most of the "weapons" you cited might be squirt guns, if that.

I specifically cited them in relation to changes you failed to note in the post I was citing.
Schefter posted a tweet...his opinion...on TWITTER...not something that gets page hits. His followers can see it and it can be retweeted. It wasn't a shock value article. It was his opinion that he felt strongly enough to put out there when he mostly is a newsie for the NFL. He follows the NFL...he breaks stories and is plugged in with NFL GM's and executives. He understands how this stuff works than all of us do.

This tweet was first discredited due to it's date which is ridiculous so now it's that he's a nobody and he had some agenda but he's nothing anyway. Wow. Just wow on the attempts to debunk. If you don't agree that is one thing...

I also didn't say he was a nobody. He's a professional journalist. He's respected for a reason as a journalist. He's one of the few that, when he says transaction "x" is (IS not SHOULD) happening, I think there's a pretty good chance that transaction actually is happening. He's not a professional evaluator of or decision maker on NFL personnell. That's not his job and it's not his background.
How many GMs have their background extensively or largely in journalism? How many of them have their background in playing or scouting or coaching?
I've addressed the salary cap far more than anyone on this forum has by a longshot within this thread. How unreal for you to come here and tell me how I haven't considered the cap ramifications. Honestly, that is one doozy of a comment that I just ...I just don't even know how to respond to that. Amazed.

You listed 8-10 players you suggested could be cut to free up cap space. Others pointed out that they were largely starters and backups and asked where you were going to replace them and at what cost. You were ultimately reduced to some vague statement that there's always ways to find cap space. You're right; there is: generally it is cutting people or letting them walk in free agency. Occassionally, it's contract restructuring. Occassionally. To this point, you haven't made a compelling argument regarding the cap.
Go use the search function to catch up on Davante being better than Sterling Sharpe.

Also, you've now brought up the Davante Adams and Sterling Sharpe bit in God knows how many threads that are unrelated, or at best tangentially related, to Adams. This after you and p2w have already had one of the classic meltdowns in this forum's history with p2w cursing you out and you throwing out hysterical accusations when it turned out the search function was just broken. The two of you threw your toys out the pram. So why are you constantly going back to it?
It seems that some here love to hate. Being the villain is fine I guess but it's as a result of not being on board with homer viewpoints and typing things that draw ire against those.
