Yeah, that kind of bothers me...  seems like this wasn't thought out very well.  I still wonder why we didn't pick up Fumagalli.

Meh, we liked other players better and was willing to risk losing him. Thompson has to realize he just got booty called at 2:30am after we struck out on all the leftovers at last call.

Or maybe we always intended to resign him as TE3 and we figured there wouldn't be a lot of people interested in 3rd string TEs..  But we couldnt till we placed Kirkwood on IR which we couldnt do before the 53 man cutdown.

This is a guy that by all reports (imb4 rhule kiss of death meme) the staff was high on and was considered a surprise cut.

If we placed Kirkwood on IR before 53 man cutdown, we lose him for entire season.  After 53 man cut down, he can come back.

    • Canales was asked about Freeling at OTAs getting beat by Princely and Scourton.  He basically described the learning curve, and it sounds as if Freeling has a lot to learn before taking the job.  Walker gives us time.  Having said that, Motown talks like he has a few (2-3?) years left---and I would love to see it.   If you look at the contracts, It is a good bet that Hunt and Lewis are extended and given some guaranteed $$$ to lower the cap hit.  Lewis is about 29 and Hunt is 30, I believe.  That gives us about a 3-year window to start grooming their replacements.  Ickey seems to be the person who could be left without furniture in the musical chairs game.  I would move him to guard and use him like a Travelle Wharton--we have a good problem--we could have six or seven starting OL on the roster.  Of course, that won't last long.
    • I see this point and agree--However, someone is going to bite.  In fact, I think there will be some bluffing going on to make the desperate teams raise the stakes.  We shall see.
    • I could see a team like the Jets, Cardinals etc. bid a second round pick, get a year to see where he’s at, and still take a first round QB if he doesn’t show the right stuff. A risk well worth taking. I just wonder how much of a mental toll the last few months have taken on him?
