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.

    • This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.
    • Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
