I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him. So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

If BY continues to develop. XL learns how to catch with his speed. Tet lives up to his hype... THEN Brooks comes back.. dammmmmmmmmmmmmm

Amazing how the casual fan has gotten sucked into this kind of thinking. IMO I have no problem with hold outs or this kind of contracts. Look at what the Panthers just did. They just cut Clowney. After THEY gave him a 2 year contract to save money. Im not in to billionaires saving money. Im into players making money.

You expecting to start hanging out?! lol

If we dont resign him, then we know what we are drafting in round 1 next year.. We NEED him to continue to grow and resign him. Motion's time is coming to an end, so we need to get that figured out soon as well. Replacing both tackles..............................................................

Im impressed at how they screened the pick. I think people here only really wanted Walker because it seemed inevitable it was going to happen. This is a great pick and finishes our starting offense. Throw a few more bodies on the D and I think we have a pretty complete team coming into the season.

even better

Geepers.. could you imagine.. Trade Motion 1st Round: Draft Will Campbell or Membou Trade 3rd to the Giants for Thibodeaux Trade 2nd to Raiders for Mayer I mean this is playing Madden but then suddenly you come out of the draft -30,000,000 in cap and 3 young players to build around.

Then hit up the Giants who will likely draft Carter and rumor is shopping Thibodeaux and trade a 3rd. Seems too simple..

If this was a year from now and we had already addressed the defense then I could see the reasoning for this. But thats not this year. Also, he has been the best player on the team the last 10 years. Lets respect that he wants to retire here..

Paywall..

I mean, it was pretty funny that they did that.. Then we all learned that Tepper cannot take a joke (or people wearing hats). I fully support people trolling billionaires.

I mean the point was exactly that, that its insinuated that the Tepper's meddled in the draft process. Thus forced the pick to be Young. My point is Young was the best graded player that draft year.
