Pete Posted Saturday at 04:13 PM Report Posted Saturday at 04:13 PM That we' ve not signed any key players other than Bryant may be an indicator that Walters is not going to overspend the cap to any significant amount
Colin Unger Posted Saturday at 04:19 PM Report Posted Saturday at 04:19 PM 3 minutes ago, Pete said: That we' ve not signed any key players other than Bryant may be an indicator that Walters is not going to overspend the cap to any significant amount What's the point of overspending the cap if we're just using it to overpay for returning players. In order for it to make sense you want to get everyone to buy into actually accepting fair pay or in some cases taking paycuts and then using the extra money to bring in outside talent that can put the team into a better position to win a cup. They shouldn't overpay for anyone though. Doesn't sit well with the players who took fair value. rebusrankin 1

SpeedFlex27 Posted Monday at 10:51 AM Report Posted Monday at 10:51 AM Some players need to be shown the door come free agency. Like, "We've moved on. Thanks again but please close the door when you leave". Then get aggressive with the money we spend on CFL free agents. We know there's a handful of them as it's been discussed before. rebusrankin 1

With the passage of time I kinda doubt it's going to be an inside hire. That’s a good question. I wish I might know for a fact, but I suspect that it is just because. I mean that’s how we roll with every thing from injuries to roster changes. Top secret for the point of being top secret. I agree that it just wouldn’t make sense to have this process drag into the new year only to announce an in house hire. But we also often make befuddling decisions like that. Logically, the only thing I can see is if they want the in house hire but want and outside hire to be an assistant to support and guide them in the job. Like hall has done for Jy. Kevin and Marty would really benefit from that type of support. I’d honestly be good with having Marty and Kevin work together then get a vet oc on the way down in their career to be qb coach and support both. That being bourgoin as the pass game co, Marty the run game co, where Bourgoin likely calls the plays from the booth and Marty is on the side line with said qb coach. Maybe Khari. rebusrankin 1

January I think is the best bet though at this point. 23 minutes ago, Fatty Liver said: In those cases the decisions were probably made earlier and the announcements were delayed to coincide with season ticket sales.

I can’t imagine they would’ve requested to interview him if buck left to delay it a month plus. I could see wishing he a double edged sword. Oh one hand a bunch of top guys will be gone. On the other hand, a bunch of guys who wanted a chance to move up didn’t get it and we will be their last shot. That could be the case for some one like beau Baldwin, Howell, or even jackson.
BomberBall. Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Report Posted Monday at 09:14 PM (edited) Ford is working out for the Steelers today. Edited Monday at 09:14 PM by BomberBall. wbbfan and rebusrankin 2
wbbfan Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Report Posted Monday at 10:04 PM 49 minutes ago, BomberBall. said: Ford is working out for the Steelers today. he deserves the look. That said he’s gonna be 27 before camp next year and has 1 year starting as a pro, while his college time was at a low level. Hes gotta make a really calculated decision on his football career this off season. Dee Alford had a lower level college career,(still higher than ford) and is 27. But he’s played 44 nfl games over 3 years. Ford should be very particular with nfl interest. Guys like stiggers and Alford got good chances. Ford shouldn’t consider any thing that doesn’t come with guaranteed money up front. Some one will likely give him a fat 3 year deal this off season if he wants it. Probably in the 180-200k range a year. And with his passport he can easily get a contract after he turns 30. In order for him to make 700k+ in the nfl some ones gonna have to give him a real shot. No doubt lots of teams will give camp invites. But taking a no cash camp invite, getting cut or even worse getting hurt then trying to come back mid season with out camp etc will leave him in a bad spot. Kongbo signed a couple good deals but only managed to cash like 300k plus pr money. The broncos coaching staff loved him too. He was lucky that he played a premium position and B.C. was handing out money like drunken sailors. Db isn’t paid like de/dl. If this off season goes poorly for him he stands to lose a life changing amount of money. BomberBall. and rebusrankin 2

Booch Posted Monday at 11:34 PM Report Posted Monday at 11:34 PM Bronco's doing the Giants wide swath look at anyone who had a press clipping or highlight Not sure what they see/saw in Ajou tho.....Guess he getting the KSB look based on visuals And with Ford....he not in a good spot age/experience/pedigree wise....also position ......you know how many Ford's are kicking around there...younger....experienced in American ball....he needs to seriously look for the perfect situatuion...and even then....he has huge odds Noeller and wbbfan 2
