While true, he still only just turned 29 and he'd be replacing either Jewell or Rozeboom who are 30 and 28 respectively. I don't see his age stopping interest on our end if they think he can be a big enough of an upgrade for us

I know, I'm good with them.

There were female rappers pre 1996

If I had a time machine I'd go back to 1996 and stop the WNBA and every female rapper.

No, next it will be Free Agents, which is why I think the teams are going to hold the line. If they give out fully guarantees to a ton of this year's 2nd rounders, those same agents are going to start demanding it for the top FA's next offseason before the draft ever happens, something that they've never done before except Watson and everyone said it was dumb and they were right.

Zero chance he's coming to this franchise right now, regardless of local ties. We are at least two years away from being remotely desirable for free agents and cut casualties. But fun to play what if ...

I will say, through three games, minus the Canes appearances, this is easily the most entertaining Finals I've seen.

Yes, please. Wanted to draft him years ago anyway.

It was entertaining, at least.

Not sure what Edmonton is trying to do with all these penalties.

I don't think it is so much how he played as that they are cash strapped with the current roster. See, Hendrickson, Trey.

Was a non issue a month ago and still is.

We'll see what happens. I bet most of the 2nd rounders will get big guarantees and that percentage will continue to go up year after year and then it'll be the 3rd rounders up next.

Remember when James Anderson didn't like Ron cursing?

I have heard he did not do so well last season and the Bengals fans were happy to be rid of him for what it's worth. Said he looked slow.

Well, he's already guaranteed to be a self-appointed captain of the team 8 times next season.

I met him after a game on my 16th birthday. He stopped and signed for maybe three people total, and I was one of the lucky ones. Didn't say much, I said "thank you," and he nodded and walked off.

Well, he would immediately be the best LB on the roster. Buuuut....he really doesn't fit the profile of what we seem to be doing. We are avoiding these older players and seem to be very attached to a youth movement.

I mean, if you literally walk down the starters for that team versus ours, it's fuging embarrassing. Then when you get to the backups, it's WAY more obvious. There is a reason we were largely regarded as the worst roster. It was very earned.

I have to disagree with you on this. Outside of Nabors, there is not a single player on the Giants offense that I would want to start in place of our starters. Their dline is decent, but the rest of the team is not good at all. I might take Gano back. There is a reason both of those teams drafted ahead of us, they needed to revamp their talent.

Just go head hunting at this point. Who fuging cares if you get a game misconduct or even a suspension. It will be worth it.

Florida has some mystical juju

This makes too much sense not to happen.

I'm not expecting it to happen, but we definitely need an upgrade at LB. He fits the bill for sure

No, you're just flat out not comprehending what is going on, because if it was really how you think, more than only the first 2 players taken in the round would be signed right now. Enough teams would just say screw it, it's not worth fighting with the agent over such a relatively low guaranteed cap hit. Your point about teams being afraid of spending that draft capital and not getting the player signed is also just asinine on the surface. Because yes, the teams want to make sure the draft capital they used is on the field for them, but 2nd rounders fail more than they succeed in general. If one holds out to try and re-enter the draft after a year off of football, they're tanking their career before it ever gets started and will fall further in that draft too. Teams expect their 1st rounders to pan out, but they just hope their 2nd rounders do, it's why the pressure is on the team to sign a 1st rounder, but it's why the players have so much more to lose by holding out than the teams do for anyone after the 1st round. It's 100% about precedent, that's literally the only thing driving this right now, on both sides. Again, if half the teams had signed them, or even a third of them, you might have a leg to stand on. But it's clear this has nothing to do with agent/team leverage at this point, it's about both sides trying to set a new precedent for contracts, and I don't see the agents winning this one on the whole. Maybe a few more end up getting it, but I'd bet at least 20 of the 2nd round picks do NOT get a fully guaranteed contract.
