Dude is too good and I'm assuming too prideful to stoop to a one-year "prove-it deal".  Those are deals for lower tier FAs, players coming off significant injuries or much older Pro Bowl players trying to show they have gas left in their tanks.  McCoy is none of these.

Yeah, if that's what he was offered, I doubt he comes here.

We'll have some cap space to do it, though.  We had a ton of holes to fill this off season, with almost no cap space.  And for what its worth, did well imo.

I'd agree. Hurney did a good job this offseason

Too much speculation. The difference between a one year and two year deal depending on how they work guarantees isn't that big. I doubt we are that cash strapped that we would let him walk away over an extra year. Not with the effort we've already made to get to this point.

WFNZ just said  their source told them

 

1. Baltimore offered him a 2 year deal 

2. We offered him a 1 year deal, but a big chunk of $$

 

Apparently  he's told teams he wants to sign in time to start mini camp.  (Cleveland and Baltimore start their Mini camp tomorrow FWIW)

Not saying I totally believe this is true, but I highly doubt he takes a 1 year deal at his age.  I really want this to happen and I’m sure he is considering a lot of factors but 2 or even 3 years probably gets him here if that number is around 10 per.

Maybe it was a one year deal... as in.. look.. we dont have the money this year, but if you like our time, we will offer an aggressive offer later

 

We have the money this year, that's not the issue.  Even if it were, the deal could be back-loaded.

Dude is older

Coming off his worst season in awhile

 

Like the wfnz cohost said 

Would you take a 1 year 14 mil and bet on yourself for a bounce back season for a big deal 

Or take the 2 year 18-19 mil which is probably what is being brought to the table by those other guys

He missed a couple of games last year so his stats were a little down.  Not a steep drop off, mind you.  Also, he just turned 31.  This would be a contract offer after another 3-4 years and steadily declining play.

Look, I'm all for him coming here, but I personally think unless the cash offer was ridiculously high, a one-year deal equates to an insult.

If we give him that much for one season then hurney truly is going all in on a super bowl this season. Makes me nervous

Yeah but I don't think he has been offered that much. Why would we pay KK almost 18 mil, Poe around 10 mil and McCoy 14 mil. There is no way we offered that, I think the agent is throwing all these numbers out to get the other teams to give more but it won't happen.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its quite literally insanity and its quite literally textbook panthering.  Literally 2 weeks before the season they pull this poo.  It absolutely helps no one but Moton.   fug morgan fug tepper and fug tillis.  This is a horrendous move no matter how you sell it.  But but but culture, but but but it sets a precedent, but but but he deserves it, but but but it frees up cap space.   It was a stupid fuging move.

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.
