Lot of people here liked him. I guess we are definitely going DT in the draft.
He was a good rotational piece. He was a player playing on a minimum contract making the most of it.

Sad to see him go, but at the same time definately not irreplaceable.

I'm guessing that Monti didn't want to re-sign a player at the buttom of the roster at this point with free agency going on and a draft heavy on DL.

Okay. So I guess Lopez is expendable.
We will just draft a rookie and plug him in while hoping Robinson is healthy and steps up.

Pretty sure we still have a few vet DL on the roster. One would hope that Jones plays this year. He was supposed to be starter last year when they got him off the couch. I do believe.

A player playing on veteran minimum is per definition expendable IMO. Me liking him doesn't make him less expendable.

But the point I was trying to make was that this comes down to counting to 53. How many DL of the 53?

Monti missed out on Williams and Allen, so I assume adding a DT is still the plan. Sweat was signed. Given the draft, I can easily see 2 DL drafted. Take the players already on the roster with BJ coming back. Does Lopez even have a roster spot after that? And even if the spot is there, do we need a Lopez, a Dimukeje or Ben Stille at that 3rd string spot?

the room is pretty full. I liked Lopez,...but other guys are already under contract and we should have a top rookie that needs that roster spot soon.
