Josh Norris = Joe Person, sorry Joe that is cold.

How do you figure? Josh Norris is a young, creative, intelligent, out of the box thinking writer for rotoworld.

joe person is the single worst beat writer in the NFL.

So, apparently the Giants were offered the same deal from the Jets that the Colts took.  Interesting.  The Giants want someone badly.  Is it Chubb?  I think it will be QB but wondering what they are thinking.  I don't think its Nelson or they take the Jets pitch.

They could end up with a better deal on draft night

Pro Bowl KR/PR and vastly underutilized WR just became available.

Mike Wallace took that deal from Philly because their trying to maximize their window with a qb on a rookie deal. Who's to say he goes anywhere else for that cheap.

Yes all these guys going REEEEEEE! thinking why didn't we do that. Marty got fleeced. Blah blah. Guess what? They want another ring and guys are going there cheap to do it. It's why there's so many 1years. Hoping they get another SB and the guys who signed get paid bank bc of it.

Salary cap casualty from New York.

Good depth at WR, hell of a return man, and will go over the middle with no fear.  Also a great blocking WR.

You keep on proving how little you know about the NFL.  Keep it up.

Bingo thought this was common sense. Players are going to give Philly a deal tha ttey wwouldn't offer other teams. It's why guys use to always line up to take less from the pats. 

The panthers when cam first started and Cowboys are a prime example of having bad contracts around a rookie qb. Prescotts cap hit is 700k and zeke is on a cheap deal but they can't do jack poo to improve that team.

+1 on not getting it

Guy signs elsewhere for good money:

"They're chasing the money instead of signing with us where they have a better chance to win."

Guy signs elsewhere for cheap:

"He's taking less money than he would have wanted from us because he's chasing a ring.'

These two points of view need a cage match.

None of the players take less money to do anything.  Maybe a guy that KNOWS its 1 last season...but no...they want the money.  What would you do?  If you were retiring you want the MOST money you can a get.  Right?

Of COURSE you take the money.  Wallace is 2 yrs older than Torrey Smith.  I would bet Smith has better numbers this season.

The Wallace contract is typical for vet players, with 1-3 years left in their career. Why? Because there's added risk and uncertainty. No surprises here.
