Have fun and good luck people

[CWood21]

[TL-TwoWinsAway]

In my opinion, Raiola needs to be released. His cap hit is substantial, and his level of play simply doesn't warrant it.

Peterman is in a similar spot.

[DrRay11]

I agree with you, TL. Between myself, the AGMs, and the coaches, we will recommend cuts and put them each to a vote.

[DrRay11]

I recommend we immediately put Titus Young, Ronald Bartell, and Brandon Pettigrew on the trade block. Until staffs are finalized tomorrow, all votes will count as equal.

Please "yea" or "nay" to putting Young, Bartell, and Pettigrew on the block.
