I think it’s just sad that DT has to go but Keenum and VJ remain...
... and people say DT was overpaid!

It stings to lose a guy like DT that has meant so much to this organization. At this point though, it's more sentimental to lose him that losing anything production wise. Long term, it'll be good to get Sutton, Hamilton, and Patrick more reps out there, and honestly they should do just fine. It would have been nice to get more than a 4th in return for DT, but we get to unload his contract and get something for him instead of cutting him in the offseason.

Yup. It will look a lot more like a bad college team, and less competitive than it is right now. Yippee!
They are not done dumping players now or in the off-season. Look for them to blow up the team for the new coach and coaching staff, dumping Derek Wolfe, Domato Pecko, Brandon Marshall, Bradley Roby and Trumaine Brock from the defense, (UFAs and salary dumps), as well as their entire OL.
The only guy they would really want to bring back is C Matt Paradis, who is one of the best C's in the NFL and will command $10m or more a year on the open market. Ron Leary, Max Garcia, Jered Veldheer, Billy Turner, etc. - good-bye.
NO TEs on the roster either. Butt is totally unreliable from injury, and Jeff Heurmann is a UFA.
They will need about 15 new starters for next year including a rookie franchise QB. That's a recipe for 6-10 or worse in 2019 unless they just get amazingly lucky with a bunch of new draft picks - but they will be spending most of their draft on a rookie QB who won't be great his rookie year.
Thomas has alot of good memories here but...I am excited to see Cortland. Dude looks hungry to play. This sucks to see DT go but this is business and we have to play our young stars now.
Also, DT has had hip problems, ALOT of drops and he also isn’t producing like he has in the past. He is past his prime. I know it sucks to hear that from some of you but he’s not the same player.
