That's sad. The guy proved every single one of his haters on the huddle wrong.  4.6 YPC and 11 TD's going into today's game. One of my all time favorites. 

(And no, I'm not suggesting we should have kept paying him huge sums of money to play for us.)

He is still costing us over 4 Million $ worth of cap space.

He obviously wasn't fat but how do you justify someone getting cut and then losing 20 lbs and running as hard as he did when he was under 30 yrs old? Why didn't he do that here when everyone else was working their asses off?

I was responding to a poster who said he phoned it in the last few years here and it's true. Deangelo wasn't well like around here which has a lot to do with the culture that players and coaches were trying to change from the Hurney era of fat paychecks and weak productivity. He got butthurt and wanted to prove something that he should have been proving while he was still on the team "earning" that ridic contract.

From his own words it appears he felt slighted by some withing the organization about what happened to his mother(not saying he was justified in feeling that way but clearly used it as motivation to get in better shape) you can't really create that feeling when you're with your original team, same thing happened with smith he was in shape but left and slimmed down and new environment reinvigorated them both doesnt mean he didn't work while he was here.

and who wasn't he well liked by on the team? The fans turned on him when he said what he said about the team but we can't go back and rewrite history when he's on a different team.

He was vastly overpaid but I put that on Hurney's head more than D.Will cant blame him for taking the money

There was some stuff in all-pro that Jeremy has commented on. Pretty sure he it in the main forum some time later. DeAngelo rubbed ppl the wrong way. I don't wanna get into his mothers death out of respect but deangelo wasn't good for the locker room. This has been common knowledge around here for awhile. 

and my point about being slighted and losing weight is he should have been in top physical shape to help us win a championship. That should have been his motivation. He wasn't that kind of guy though. So he gone.

What killed his career here was the read option, not his ability.

 

In other news, why IS this posted here?

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
