I don't know if it's Gettleman or these players' agents that is preventing these contracts from happening but it seems around the league, any good player is letting their contact go into the last year for leverage and waiting for other players' contracts to pump up the market value. That trend will quickly reverse when a premier player gets a career ending injury on his modest rookie contract. Let's hope it doesn't happen here.

I don't see how the salaries for quarterbacks can continue to go up at this rate in the salary cap era. Flacco and Cutler did for QBs what Hurndog and CJ did for DEs.

Do we really need the fuging Chip Kelly of special teams coaches? Who is it, by the way? I'll settle for not getting punts blocked twice in a row. The dude was in the NFL for over two decades. I'm sure he's at least somewhat competent.

Not Rodgers....whew!

Takin' care of Benjness

This plus all the Huddlers crying about it makes me think that Shaq will end up being the best player in NFL history.

You do realize that your username is nctarheel, right?

Lol your tar heels might want to consider taking ECU seriously at some point.

Good thing we're set at OT......

Most of his transgressions were just dumb, kid's stuff. Those sexual assault accusations though...that's serious grown up bidness

I think a player should have a decent NFL season before anyone starts using 3 letter name abbreviations.

So is the Seahawks board awash with "SCHNEIDER-DOUCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts?

Yeah...I don't see it happening.

Gettleman seems to not mind it being a very dynamic atmosphere. Most people like things static and neatly categorized. eg. let's throw ridiculous money at two running backs so we don't have to address RB for several years. Done! Next item on the agenda!

Hell, we've got three fifth rounders this year. We should pump in noise. Not even simulated crowd noise, but babies crying, car horns, construction site noises, gay porn audio...

Early front runner for post of the year

For real. He's going to be a training camp all star.

Pie for 2 reasons. 1.) best post of the day 2) using Ballghazi

I once tried to make a pecan pie with a graham cracker crust . It sounded like a perfect storm of desert that should have been invented years ago. It didn't work too well. The crust got all soggy and the edges got browned too much. It still tasted ok, though.

To avoid pronunciation errors. He will be referred to as Matty Rice.

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo. I'm gonna sink her with my pink torpedo.

I think Boston has potential and I'm a UNC hater. I agree that the jury's still out on him. I do give Marty credit for pulling the trigger on Cam. A lot of guys wouldn't have. As far as whether or not DG would have, we'll never know, but I get the feeling he probably wouldn't have. Who knows?...But the rest of that 2011 draft was absolutely atrocious.

So you aren't counting Boston for whatever reason, and serviceable doesn't count on late round picks but injuries DO count against Gettleman. Mmmkay. Got it. But yeah, I agree with your sentiment about Hurney, he could hit those first round slow pitches out of the park.
