We’ve got a ton of easy money as well. Smith, Searcy and Captain would be almost $10m and Cockrell/Elder/rookie is more than enough to replace a person who didn’t cover anyone anyway.

 

Of the Cockrell/Elder/rookie the only one that played in 2018 was Elder.  And if you watched the Seahawks game you are still waiting for him to cover somebody.  Not saying you should not cut the other guys I am just saying it might be a good idea to have a better plan for replacing them than Cockrell/Elder/rookie.

Check out Matt Kalil sitting near the top of the list while riding the bench.

But people are mad about Olsen? What a joke.

Who signed Khalil and who re-signed Olsen? There’s your answer.

I guess thinking both were horrible ideas is against your “pick a side” agenda. SSDD.

The answer is on the team and it's Dante Jackson. We need a proven starting veteran corner. Most likely we go into next season with the starting secondary looking exactly the same.

Exactly. Need a press man coverage corner with size and speed. Move Jackson into the slot, sign Reid and replace Adams and your secondary is very much improved next year.

Buckle up everyone, it's deja vu from the last time Hurney had to re-sign/restructure contracts. It's gonna get ugly. 

Last time was 2018. He did a good job and gave out no huge contracts. Poe was the closest to a big contract he initiated and that was not anything close to a Cox contract or the ones Gettleman gave to KK and Matt Kalil.

He did a good job of giving a PK 9M guaranteed? An injured and aging TE 12M guaranteed. Poe 11M. What contracts did he do a “good” job on?

Last year was nothing close to the severity of what is upcoming and what happened in 2010-2011. I'm talking about Marty's talent for resigning players to ridiculously back-loaded contracts and restructuring their contracts to back-load as well. It was an absolute nightmare.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
