Growl

You know it's a business when I want a massive contract that is way more than I'm worth but don't you dare cut me or I'm going to pout

Had to be done. Ron's temptation to field him is too strong otherwise.

The difference between this time and last is that he'd be coming strictly as a returner. You don't want to inhibit Brown or any possible high draft pick or notable free agent signee from getting reps, so his contract would have to reflect that he was exclusively a return specialist. I'm not sure he'd go for that.

Draft is ripe this year with lots of late round backs that can come in and be high quality insurance.

Alrighty well mark it down then, Fisher at 25.

After combine week, I feel like there are a few options at OT we can hope for. Collins, Fisher, Flowers are all guys that I would be okay with there, at this point.

Gee guys I'm only echoing Dave Gettleman's sentiments about using draft picks on players who can come in and make big impacts right away. It's a good thing he's not in charge of anything!

Agreed. He's not going to get snaps over TD at the Sam, and the Will plays only sparingly in our defense anyways. You can find LBs all over the draft anyways and I'd rather do that than pick up one whose going to sit for a couple years and not contribute. The team has too many needs and is in a good position to address one of them at 25. Can't afford this kind of luxury pick. If he were willing to convert it might be a different story, but even then it'd still be a position he'd have to learn meaning we aren't going to see an immediate impact.

Thompson said a couple weeks back that he's "a LB and a LB alone." So he doesn't have much value for us.

I would rather win games than save money. If you want to have lots of cap space but pull for a loser, there's a brightly colored team in Cleveland that has lot of money, picks, and losses every year. You're more than welcome to go fly their flag Pay the superstar QB.

As is the case every year, going BPA isn't some random fortune cookie sliver of ancient football wisdom that most of this board seems to think it is. It's a reference to picking the best player available *on your board* A board that is assembled through a variety a of factors-one of those factors being gasp! Need.

He can say it as many times as he wants. He has yet to back it up on draft day. Not that there is any problem with that of course. He very clearly wants to be a guy who is a routine active player in FA. Once we're able to do that and our needs arent as significant come draft day then I'm sure he will be full minded of that philosophy. But it isnt something we've seen from him so far, nor should it have been.

I hope Flowers doesn't have too big a week. He's one of the only OT prospects I was reasonably confident could be a target for us.

Well remember that Cam is a scumbag who did very bad things as a 19 year old and Richardson isnt building a roster of no gosh darn thugs especially after that thing that happened like 20 years ago. what do you mean Cam Newton is on the team

seriously lol at the notion that X player equals Y player because Z. what a simpleton/stupid/strawman argument.

Same people arguing for him are probably the same people who were clamoring for Cam Newton and Dez Bryant Some reals fountains of football wisdom there huh wait

Esiason does. Simms does not.

What is the point of taking last year's money back? He didnt choose to not play football, and it doesnt benefit us in any way other than give ole Jerry some extra gas money. For a guy who is indisputably legally innocent, there sure seem to be a lot of stipulations for him to "prove" himself or whatever.

It sounds like he's saying they fired him or something akin to that.

lol yes the League clearly has no concern for the general public's perception of them, TRG, theyve so proven this time and again, why youre quite right.

I'm speaking more to Roger deciding whose guilty and whose innocent rather than the justice system for no other reason to protect himself and frankly the first day of the draft is like waiting for my birthday right now because the wave of hate that man is going to receive the instant his leather loafers graze the stage is going to be like a tidal wave of comedy. usually i start to feel bad for him after the 20th pick or so, but i dont think i will this year. Boo on, gents.

oh hey you're alive i thought you ended it all after your boy blew the biggest game in professional sports

if Roger oversteps the US justice system in his desperate attempt to save face then for starters Im just going to laugh at the backlash he receives, and then secondly im going to demand he's fired.

revisionist history, Smith was a KR, Hardy is an elite and rising, DE

I think the real question on everyone's mind is when is the Kraken going to log back into the Huddle
