    he's getting his audition...he played more yesterday and actually had three tackles. cutting him right now would be a complete mistake and unfair.

      It's Maybin's 2nd year, Trent's 4th. I think we should continue to develop Maybin in the weight room, and see how he does.
      Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

        I'm not convinced he's ever going to be anything but a towel boy but the guy has played less than 50 NFL plays. He didn't take himself out of the lineup. Let him play and let's see if he has anything.

          Maybin looked HORRIBLE yesterday but with that being said I have no idea why you would want to cut him now?

            So they don't have to waste millions of dollars to find out he's a bust? The NFL is a business and the money spent on this guy is a waste. Cut your losses.

              If we cut all the absolute bums, we won't be able to field a team next Sunday.

              I HATE Maybin more then anyone, but i think Cornell Green and Donte Whitner are ahead of the pecking order.

                I'd dump McCargo first.

                  Millions?? He is not earning millions this year. He got the big guarenteed money - his base salary isn't killing the payroll.

                    They could pay somebody the league minimum and get more production out of him.

                      8/21/2009: Signed a five-year, $17.6 million contract. The deal includes $15 million guaranteed. Another $7.4 million is available through incentives based on playing time and sacks. 2010: $395,000, 2011: $757,500, 2012: $1.12 million, 2013: $1.4825 million, 2014: $1.5 million, 2015: Free Agent

                      Looks to me like they would save around $5 million.

                          Incorrect. how much of the $17million was guaranteed? How much of that is signing bonus that is already paid (they cannot "save" that)? What is his base salary for this year? He made $1.45 million last year. He is not making $6million this year. Long term savings might be larger but his salary this year is insignificant.

                            Let's make a deal. Let him finish puberty, then we'll reassess.

                            The guaranteed money would be a complete loss, which it may be already but I'd rather wait and see.

                            Maybin didn't draft himself, and is still developing.

                            Surely you can understand that, being the logical man of reason you are, right? This is odd behavior from you, usually your one line posts announcing how bad we suck, and who we should get rid of, contain no useful information, at all. Providing the contract numbers wad useful...see ther is a first time for everything!!

                            We cut Edwards, as much for his good as ours, and the headhunters are out!!

                              not cutting maybin after 2 years idiotic

                              give him another offseason to learn his roll get bigger and maybe learn a pass rush move, to young to give up on him now.
