3 Rings Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 GMSM Just announced Culliver's release. So who do you think gets the work? Is Fuller penciled immediately? Who gets first shot? Looks like we save 5.5 mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskindan07 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That didn't take long. It's sad that it didn't work out here for Cully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 All hail St. McCloughan Patron Saint of Decimated Franchises! Fuller might not be healthy for a bit, so who knows there. They have Dunbar, Blackmon, and Toler holding it down until he is. But the great thing here is that St. Scot saw he wasn't worth it, immediately, he did not force the issue because of his contract, his ego or what have you.

oraphus Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Good.. too bad it didn't work out but due to his injury and the cap savings to be gained from release its a no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortisBetts Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I wonder if they try to bring him back on a cheaper deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Skins Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Pre draft this move would have shocked me. Now it just seems like the smart thing to do based on who we were able to get in Norman and Fuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I wonder if they try to bring him back on a cheaper deal? I doubt it cuz he's kinda been squeezed out. Provided he's healthy, by next season, he can find a better situation if he wants to play. He surely thinks he's better than a 3rd or 4th corner.

ZRagone Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The writing was on the wall once you combined Norman's big deal with Culliver's clause that removed all his guaranteed money. Norman and Breeland your starters Toler and Blackmon as your vet backups Dunbar, Everett, and Fuller competing as your young depth. If he'll come back on a cheaper contract I'd welcome him happily, as he'd be better than Toler or Blackmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSkinsFan92 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Smart having a clause to void guaranteed money for a suspension, when in all likelihood he was going to be suspended. Fuller is the obvious nickel when healthy. If he isn't, I thought Dunbar was playing well by the end of the season. Blackmon was playing good as well. So much depth in that area. Maybe they won't have to sign Cary Williams before the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 They mentioned a move to Safety at some point and he's younger than D Hall for sure. Maybe he comes back on the cheap as Safety depth and could move to CB if needed due to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek1973 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Not surprising, but a little surprising. Super surprising for me considering we still have Roberts on the roster. I thought you can't release a player while injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I said it in the free agency thread many times, its a smart business move and you have an out do to his contract clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 GMSM Just announced Culliver's release. So who do you think gets the work? Is Fuller penciled immediately? Who gets first shot? Looks like we save 5.5 mil? Fuller is still rehabbing from a bad knee injury. The #3 corner is probably Dunbar, with Blackmon waiting in the wings. If Fuller looks healthy enough, then Toler might not make the squad. I doubt Fuller contributes much for the first half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Im a big fan of Cully. I hope he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Super surprising for me considering we still have Roberts on the roster. I thought you can't release a player while injured. That what my thinking as well. A bit surprised by the move, most probably by the timing zvzn if releasing him soon allow him to find other options before TC.

I think we could release Roberts right now too, but we'd save $1 million more if we cut him after June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panamon28 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 With the addition of Norman and Breeland's growth (and future contract), retaining Culliver at $8MM a pop was too much money at one position. Fuller, and some combination of Toler, Blackmon and Dunbar can fill the 3-4-5 CB roles. I agree with the posts above though - I wouldn't mind seeing Culliver come back either - but it has to be in the $3-4MM range, given his injury history.
