People are fine with us paying 3-5 million a year for players that have never been good but not ok with a cheap one year deal for a player that was actually good at one time.

I’m not saying we should, but Short on a cheap one year deal isn’t that huge of a gamble.

 

It kind of is though. That's a roster spot for a guy who has been injured a lot and when he had played, he hasn't been more than average. I'd rather use that roster spot for a guy with more upside than KK right now.

I get that, but is a 1yr/$2m deal for Short any worse than a 2yr/10m deal for Erving?

Does KK wanna switch positions or something?  Because that is the only way to compare those deals.

I get nobody is thrilled with Erving or his pay, but the 2 positions demand different pay.  

Be free KK.  Go in peace big fella.

We have spent two years getting younger, and lowering our Cap. Let's not return to spending on aging Vets, hoping they can rekindle the flames. I usually doesn't happen. Usually anywho.

 

It doesn't matter if KK will pay us to play. He old. He gone. Fare thee well KK, fare thee well.

      Pittman + 7th for XL and a 5th?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      McConkey is such a better player than XL that it isn't out of the question that he'd have improved us by 1 win last year, which would have dropped us to 10th or 11th in the draft.  If we fell to 11th behind SF, they probably take him as they were heavily rumored to want him.  2 more wins and we fall to 11th or 12th, if we are 12th behind both the 49ers and Cowboys, then he's 100% taken by one of them. Also, drafting McConkey wouldn't have stopped us from getting Coker as an UDFA. So even if he was on the board when we were on the clock, I'm not sure we're taking him over a defensive player given how bad the defense was last year.  Part of why he was always the pick for me was that we had no legitimate long term WR option at the time, having McConkey changes that and makes going defense much more feasible.

      I've said many times that if I had known in high school that long snapper was an NFL position I would have practiced that every day and did all could to get that contract. Sure the money is not starting QB level, but it is life changing and if you manage it right you and your kids will be set for life. Not to mention you have access to the highest level of medical staff. Plus, by rule, they can't hit you.
