Bad Hurney Contracts: Who's Left?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure most would agree DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart - even at their best - are overpaid.

 

Charles Johnson is also looking overpaid this season (seems like he's hurt).

 

Would you consider Ryan Kalil a bad contract?  Arguably the best center in the league.

 

Who else is left that got big money from Hurney?  Am I forgetting anyone?

I would say DeAngelo and J-Stew.

 

I think Chuck was paid fair market value. If we didn't give him that deal, Atlanta would have. I think its obvious he's playing through injury right now.

 

Kalil isn't a bad contract. His play is suffering from the play of those around him. Not a surprise given every other player around him going forward is either an UDFA, a rookie, or both.

I'm not so sure we keep Johnson going forward.

 

People have been speculating on when Williams or Stewart (or both) will be jettisoned for years.

 

I don't know if we can afford to cut him...according to spotrac his dead money hit next year is $14m. At least he's still useful. I think it's more likely he's kept and Hardy walks.

Jon Beason is getting $8 million this year to help another team win the super bowl

 

Not really:

LB Jon Beason, on @WFAN660, said it's "50-50" on whether he'll have to shut it down four the season. May need surgery on toe.

Beason is currently in Charlotte visiting foot/ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson and expects to know about surgery by tomorrow.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
