Gerald McCoy visiting today!


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Going against his old team would be icing on the cake, but the cake still has to be there ($$$$$$$). 

I doubt he would have chosen to visit Carolina unless they showed a willingness to negotiate in the same ballpark as Cleveland and Baltimore. The icing makes the difference IF the offer is competitive.

He gave out big contracts to players who had no business getting those type of contracts. Gerald isn’t one of those guys. He’s a great player.

Not going to rehash all the reasons and issues from a decade ago. I agree McCoy is a good player and we should sign him. Still if he gets injured or has issues watch the same folks advocating to sign him come out of the woodwork to bash Hurney. It surely happened with Poe.

interesting.  If you were a high profile athlete, why do that?  Maybe they offered him a reduced contract.  If I am his agent, I say
"That would be a big ole bowl of Nope.  Your offensive line sucked and your QB had no shoulder." 

Then if I was Hurney I would say Bye Felicia!

Oh one more thing I forgot to add. He went vegan. That’s why Igo is all over him. 

Why does Igo care if he is vegan lol. I really don't like players going vegan even Cam. I've never seen anyone do well when they did that. Former RB Foster from Texans when he went vegan I was like he is done. Guess what he never did poo after that and always stayed injured. I think u should stick with what u have been doing this whole time.

I hope he parks his batmobile and stays.

 

 

And, just like the car, best not to judge on looks alone.

Rolls Royce is owned by BMW and what's under the hood is pure Beamer. That "RR" on the grill is simply eye candy.

McCoy is 31 and the NFL average retirement age for D-linemen is.... 32-34.

Cause Igo’s a vegan. They tend to stick together.

Not really big on getting McCoy at his age and I'd rather fill other positions of need.

Those saying cut Poe, we'd actually lose cap space doing that.

Torrey Smith would free up $5 million with no consequences

Butler would free up about $1 million

We'll also have a lot more cap when we weedle things down to 53. Still, I'd like to see us looking for DBs and OL

I said cut Poe next year. See if KK can come back to form and if so we have him and McCoy. We save money next year.

At this point what other positions of need can be filled with players of McCoys caliber?

So an average means that many are playing beyond that age or the average would be lower.  So it is  likely he has a number of years left.  Good news.

Only the top 51 salaries count against the cap. So the process of roster reduction doesn't effect the cap number unless it involve cutting one of those players.

    • My point is they were looking at the whole year with Bryce, and into the future.  Legette is really a great guy to run down and compete for a ball with a DB. He (Bryce) couldn't complete poo down field (in 2023). The back was because he has the receiving skills. That is what set him apart (besides the ACL rehab).  My view of it was he (Bryce) needed to be trending up and showing he could do something the second half of the season. I certainly didn't expect to win a lot under any circumstances, considering the multiple factors including a new offensive system, so competing early wasn't something I expected to do.   If you look at it that way it might be more understandable than the view that places top priority on winning games out of the gate. This was always going to be a learning year. The complaining about that wasn't realistic to me. Inconsistent with reality. People put unreasonable expectations about winning, while predicting we'd maybe win 4 or 5 games. It was a little illogical.  Bro, I have watched just like you have, the steady decline year by year, under Tepper's yoke. We weren't winning so take care of your business that gets you competitive and pointing up at year's end. Max expectations on my end. Honestly it was all about suffering through what we had to, and allowing Young to show what he was. I knew or thought I knew, but poo necessitated that other people be convinced.
    • Yep-It was. Heck..Plenty here were thinking we should shore up the OL or DL if the top WRs were gone.  Or maybe a DB.  Not only that, but Ladd was available at WR, Newton was available at DL, Frazier, P-J, Kneeland, talent was there and we reached for a guy many had reported was around 70ish overall and at least a 3rd round grade for many teams. Did the same exact thing with Mingo a year prior over legit WR talent in Jayden Reed and Rashee Rice. Also had JuJu Brents, Branch, Tuli RIGHT f’n there for us. 
    • XL can become the best friend of a strong armed gunslinger QB. Let him go deep and jump ball against the CB. DC wants him to be his Evans/DK. Bryce would have been better with a Ladd quick short route runner. I think DC was building an offense for a traditional QB in case the Young experiment fails which it looks like it is…
