Every team has stories but as curious as I am I kinda hope these stay buried. Cam should apologize and straighten up his references to his old teammates. If he's pissed at the org, be pissed at the org. -
That's not my point, I'm just saying it's a very micro way of looking at it. As I said to someone a week or two ago when they said "we need high draft picks on the defensive side of the ball" That's just a flawed way of looking at building a roster, we need to have impact players on the defensive side of the ball, not necessarily high draft picks, they're two different things. Everyone keeps talking about going all defense in this draft, but the reality is we need to just forget about the draft right now and focus on defensive FA's. If we target and sign the right players in FA, namely not trying to spread our cap around but sign 1-2 serious impact players with at least one being a pass rusher, then it opens up all sorts of draft possibilities. Even if we went defense with every pick of our draft, they better not be the most impactful newcomers on the team next year, as it then means we screwed up our free agency. -
There are some signs that they are going to keep him--getting rid of some of their training and conditioning staff--when they go back to grass on the field, I will see that Tepper is on board. Horn has missed 25 games (more than a season) and I think the field and perhaps the training staff had something to do with his rehab. They do make a difference. Furthermore, they lost Brooks again for another year--which may have been the last straw for them. It is interesting (to your point). My comment was not based on what I would do--it was based on what they might be thinking (not to say that you were assuming it was my idea). I look at management from their perspective--not mine. Any good GM would consider the injury history. Until we go back to grass, I will assume Tepper is not interested in this aspect of team ownership. Regardless, giving a player who has missed a season and a half in four years a lucrative contract is risky, and that risk needs to be minimized by considering all variables.
