Who's Gone in 2015?

[michaelwarner]

Hey Fellas.

As usual, I've been reading everyone's posts religiously and rarely posting.

There have been a lot of speculation in other threads about this subject but I just wanted to throw it out to everyone about who will be cut, traded or not resigned for next year.

RayMac-Today's news about about Rape allegations at his house seems like it could be the final straw. I'd be surprised to see him back.
Crabs-Got a be a no-brainer to let him walk?
Gore-Most speculation I've read has the team offering him a cut in pay on a new deal that would almost certainly make him leave.
Iupati-Can't see the team resigning him at what the market will offer him.
Smith-Will he retire?
Brooks-There is no way They'll keep him, right? Especially with the emergence of Lynch
VD-Not assured but I'd be surprised to see him back

There are others at the back end of the 53 that surely won't be back.

Thoughts?

Brooks & Crabtree are definitely gone IMO. There's probably a 85% chance Iupati's gone.

Ray Macdonald won't be cut unless he's charged with a crime. He's in a solid position.

Vernon will be back. Trades rarely happen, and he has another year under his contract.

I don't expect Gore back.

The rest are anyone's guess. JSmith will be back if he doesn't retire (I actually hope he does so the Niners can sign Ndamokung Suh). Culliver's probably 50 / 50. Cox? No idea.

Skuta will be too expensive to bring back IMO.

Ray Ray will be going away unless she gets totally discredited. Any doubt at all on this one and he's gone. Too much smoke at this point for there not to be a fire.

Think chances are higher they work something out with Iupati

Agree on the rest

I'd hope to keep Culliver over Cox. I agree with Brooks and Crabtree. I think Ray Mac is gone as well 2 strikes do we take a shot at possible suspension next year? Dahl is wasting a spot as well. I think Gore would come back for less but he better not be starting over Hyde.

McDonald is released. This team is turning to **** quickly, IMO

I figured this would happen. Just not today.

No way Brooks comes back unless he takes a dramatic pay cut. In that case, I would like him back. When he's got his head on straight, he's a very good player and would be great in rotation.

Yep, just read that Baalke reported McDonald released due to his pattern of poor decision making. I am sure they save some decent money here.

I just read 1.8 in cap savings in 2015. 4.6 mil in dead money.

-Brooks is a goner as he makes too much money and there won't be any reason to have him with Lynch on the roster. Lynch should be a better run blocker next season and even if he's not someone else could fill that role.

-Iupati is a goner and Brandon Thomas should replace him (ideally)

-Crabtree is more than likely a goner. Maybe a slight chance he stays depending on who's coaching the team.

-JSmith my guess depends on Fangio. I can see him coming back for one more year if Fangio stays but I think he'll retire rather than bother to learn a new system with a new DC. Though I suppose if Tomsula becomes the HC he might return in that scenario as well.

-Gore is only back if he signs a really team friendly contract. He still has value as a guy getting a few snaps a game but he's far from being a feature back anymore.

-I think we'll either resign Cox or Culliver but not both. Teams are always desperate for DBs so cost wise it's hard to see retaining both especially since the team just loaded up on DBs this last draft.

-Skuta will depend on how much he commands and how much they like Lemonier. If Lemonier fills that third OLB role I don't see them putting too much money into Skuta.

I would love it if Lemonier came on. But as for Brooks, I'd still like to have him back for deph so long as he takes a dramatic pay cut. But I doubt that. I think he stills game so another team will snatch him up.

Crap. Sounds like when we restructured Ray it added two voidable years and had a restructure bonus. That all nails us next year.
