Figured as much. I like it. Let him play the season out under the tag and hopefully at the same time Butler develops into a suitable replacement. Let someone else back up the Brinks truck for a DT who will be knocking at the door of 30 years old at that time.

As soon as Cox signed that deal in Philly I figured signing Short long-term was a pipe dream. Hell, I think Gettleman knew it before then, hence the drafting of Butler.

This just gives Getty reason to draft his DT at 8. And, you know, we really couldn't even be mad at him.

They can still get something done, and perhaps this is but a game being played out, but I'm disappointed. You never know where dragging things out will end up. Will there be a media thing?

I can see both sides hunkering down. Remember G-man's optimism that something would get done...?

well it sucks we can't sign him long term, but if he'll sign the tag, we are set up pretty well to lose him in 2018.  Also, with KK (birthday today) eating biggest chunk of our cap space, we can sign everyone else we want and be a big player in FA.

Getty says he doesn't like to develop players for other teams, but this is 2 in a row.

also,

 

  1. Rivera added that he wants to improve depth along the O-line. Said he's "pretty optimistic" about working something out with Kawann Short.

    On set for ESPN NFL Insiders in Houston, Ron Rivera reiterates "our primary runner cannot be our quarterback."

Just because you franchise tag a player doesn't mean the extension talks cease. I'm not sure when the deadline to apply the tag is, but it's almost always before teams work out the extension. 

Von Miller was franchised last year, until the worked out his extension. So to say there isn't still ''optimism'' is a bit of a reach at this point, March isn't even here. 

However I think the Butler pick was made knowing we would have an easier time extending Star since space eaters don't command the money interior pass rushers do. And with Butler we also get the 5th year option down the road if he becomes a rusher on par with Short. 

I think for as much flack as we give DG, he's the GM a team like this needs, he has his faults, but he's building a sustainable roster. We just need a break on a tackle in free agency, I feel good about WIlliams, but Oher's long term health is a concern, and I think Remmers returns as depth.

And pick Montravious Adams in the 2nd round and we're golden!  ;)

The only DT worth a top 10 pick is Allen and if he's sitting there at 8 I hope I see DG's fat flopping up and down over his belt as he furiously runs to the podium to submit Allen's name.

(P.S. Yes, I know DG isn't the one actually at the draft submitting the draft card.)

Well, in order to achieve success with your primary runner being the RB, you have to actually have a successful and creative NFL-level passing scheme.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
