I'm not mad at the decision.  Just surprised.  I think both guys have a lot of potential as developmental prospects, and Godwin just seemed to have enough polish already combined with how much we used him and who he played with (1st and 2nd string) that I thought he was an almost lock to make it...

It’s fluid.

He was the third best CB before he got hurt. They like him. 

I liked him a lot his first year here, but he seemed to regress some in year two, and then the whole IR'd for a wisdom tooth thing happened and I just assumed he was gone after that.

I think he's gonna surprise some people and could help with the slot.

Yep, I thought we'd cut Holyfield. I don't cars what people say, he's JAG. 

Plenty of teams are in dire need of backup running backs right now. Some need starters. He’d be gone as soon as he hit waivers. If we want to stash him on the PS, we gotta wait.

He's definitely an "effort" guy, which we know Rivera loves.

Good enough to play against starters though? I guess we'll see. If he sticks, I suspect he and Reggie Bonnafon are top candidates for game day inactive.

Wisdom tooth? He had double shoulder surgery.

I’m glad they like them. We’ll see how it works out. I’m not as high on the guy. 

I remember that game where he was targeted for big gains over and over again. And if I recall correctly, it was Nathan Peterman that did it.

Not exactly a glowing endorsement...

That’s fine. His injuries definitely have him on the cusp. They like him. But he could be gone in the roster juggling in the next few days. Depends on when they think he’ll be ready

This.  I mean, I like the guy as well but some people are way overboard with him as the backup.  Just seems like a typical running back to me and I haven't seen anything that would justify keeping him over RB or Scarlett, I personally think both of those guys are superior backs by a good margin.  Scarlett reminds me of beast mode a lot ( not saying he is the next Lynch FFS just saying he reminds me of him ) and RB is basically a CMC lite.....we need someone with his skillset to make our offense run correctly.

I do like Holyfield but rarely in this league has a guy of his ability at HB just all of a sudden gotten way better and good enough to contribute. We’ve seen this same story again and again here with guys like Wegher, even CAP early on, several different guys in 2014, etc. Guys like Holyfield are a dime a dozen and keeping a 4th HB doesn’t make a ton of sense to me—if we were to have injuries at the position there are plenty of guys sitting on their couch who are no worse than Holyfield. Scarlett on the other hand has already shown legit promise that he can be a solid #2 or better.

 

I like Godwin too but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter all that much as neither has great odds of being an impact player. At least Godwin offered some possible PR ability...

Do you know what they like about him specifically? I’m not trying to be a smart ass here. I get sources can be limited with info. What’s flashed to them in your opinion?

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

      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
