The problem is that Funchess isn't a #1 WR.

Exactly a #2. The thing to do is bring in another #2 - type; not an aging 3. At least smith "theoretically" gives us a speed option but I'd really rather have a solid, well rounded #2 that can run good routes and has great hands.

Ginn's best three years were in New Orleans and Carolina--he averaged about 720 yards each season.

Smith averaged about 920 yards in Baltimore until leaving for QB-less SF.   Even in SF, he had a season where he had 663 yards.  In Philly, they had a ton of WRs and a young QB.  He could not develop chemistry, so they moved him out.

In this system, the odds are that Smith will return to his 50-yard per game pace.  It will also loosen things up for Funchess and CMC, and it can be balanced with Samuel.  I think we draft a solid TE and we are probably set.  Not sure we draft a WR now--but we could.  Sheperd is upgraded a lot--Samuel and Byrd with be healthy. New TE for 2 TE sets--the weaponry is there.

RB and TE in draft; OG in free agency?

I dig the optimism. I hope you are right.

AbsoFINGlutely.  We have two burners on the roster already.  Should've just signed legit BAMF Allen Robinson and been set at WR for the next forever...

 

but this is why we can't have nice things.

I really think we try to get a friendlier deal done over the next few days. Probably two years 7.5-8 million with four guaranteed at signing. And if it doesn't get done we cut him. And it doesn't matter about Worley because he was probably gone anyway. 

There's a chance that neither of these guys is on the Eagles or Panthers to start the season. But I hope we get a deal done by next week.

AROB will get 15-20 mil a year after Mike Evans contract now. He may end up in Seattle or in San Fran. Either way, he's going west. 

I don't think AROB gets more than Evans, especially coming off his injury.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
