Hard to equate the two since Draft was signed as a mid-level free agent.

If you meant Morgan and Witherspoon, it's possible.

I hope that is what he meant. I don't think so Morgan and Spoon were drafted around the same years. Beason and Davis have like 4 years between and their contracts don't come up at the same time. Plus they are both 1st round picks when spoon was pick in the 3rd so his contract was shorter.

is the title supposed to be witherspoon instead of draft?

if so i can see the comparison only i think we'll do a better job of keeping them both. contracts shouldn't be on the same schedule like they were with morgan/witherspoon.

jon beason is a FA in 2012 and davis is a FA in 2010. we got time to get both situations worked out.

I just have this little feeling inside me that, for one reason or another, not end up re-signing him.

Just a hunch.

It all depends on what happens behind him on the depth chart and how much he expects. I just get the impression that the desire to follow the Steelers mould could see a few high priced vets walk out in favor of cheaper system guys.

We shall see though!

Davis is coming into his own. I am sure we will lock him up as soon as we have the cap space and see whether next year is uncapped or not. He is scheduled to be a free agent next year unless it is an uncapped year at which time it will take 6 years insteaad of four to become a free agent.

Isn't that correct?

Would he be a restricted free agent?

Or is it five o'clock somewhere. and I started early!!

Their contract years are offset so it shouldn't be a problem.

Davis, as good as he's been hasn't garnered much national attention so he doesn't have any PBs or ALL Pro lists to jack up his price tag.

Good point. I really think Davis was brought here as a project player who had high expectations placed on him from the staff. He has worked out well, IMO. Let's face it, the guy is 26 years old, has escalated his impact every year, and is now playing next to an All-Pro 24 year old team leader. Carolina created a linebacker out of Thomas Davis and I doubt they would like to see him leave before he reaches his peak. Barring injury, that could be 4 years away.

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
