Thank f$%^ Carter is gone - what took so long?
Decoud - walking penalty flag at times. Probably not enough progress over the season.
Lucier-South, never heard or saw his name except on depth charts.
Richards - see Lucier-South.
Brady Sheldon - a victim of too much other talent at LB. With Apolon and Mackonzo healthy, Konar's outstanding play and more LB's signed it gives him a chance to go elsewhere.
Washington - too bad. Missed too much time injured, and that stuff doesn't get better with age.
IMO, Squishy, some of the “veterans” were brought in year 1 to help with the Jones system. (Not sure where Carter fits in there😀, though Jones seems to like the guy). None of these surprised me. I expect Henry, Dubuisson, maybe Lacey may also be gone as a lot of young guys have a year under their belt. Your comments are bang on. Washington may have stayed another year but IMO Jones sees enough in Ivey who is much younger & has an edge to him.
I’m looking forward to seeing who the other teams release prior to free agency.
Carter was a liability all year. Yes, you need the veterans, but him - no. First game he played Safety - total and utter disaster, especially with Hutter - who I thought needed better recognition for an outstanding season - playing very well.
Apart from that - his season was a series of mixed up coverages, playing way to far off guys, and in general rookie mistakes and poor play.
