What destinations and why?

 

Do you really want to argue Charlotte is a more enticing market to play in than Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Houston, and New Orleans? New Orleans and Dallas would be the local teams for him. Although Dallas may not have early playing time for him.

Yes it is. It's cheaper with a higher quality of life. Among others, Mike Tolbert left San Diego for that reason and I personally talked to Ed Dickson of Inglewood, CA and the University of Oregon, not to mention a world champ in Baltimore, that chose us over Miami with zero ties here whatsoever, having to play with a Pro-Bowl TE.

From a football perspective, there is no team in football with a brighter foreseeable future and golden opportunity to play than right here. Those cities haven't won titles in eons or ever, and darn sure aren't again before we do. Why would he want to compete with the #13 overall pick in NO on a team going backward when he could play here immediately on a better team with his best friend to boot?

Yeah those are great arguments for a veteran with a family. This guys is probably 22 years old looking to max earnings and max appearance fees to recoup the money he lost in this ordeal. When Moose went to Chicago he said his appearance fees tripled. We are talking 35 grand to show up at a car dealership. San Diego might look mediocre now but his agent would love to have him in LA in a few years. As far as "winning" is concerned. 21 year olds need to earn max money before they worry about winning. By the time he gets to a second contract our roster and every other roster will have turned over and who knows what teams will be winning. 

 

I think we have a shot because we can offer him playing time. But this is not a max earnings city for him until his second contract. 

 

But all of this is moot if any doubt lingers because other franchises will take a chance before we will. The details of the case that are available to the public do not rule out his involvement and in fact make it look very possible he was involved.

He is going to be signed to a three year "prove it" deal. The only way he can get the big contract he wants is to prove it, by starting. He has a significantly lower chance of starting in NO or DAL than he does here. Those two destinations are probably not high on his list at all.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
