BREAKING: Dave Tepper willing to pay $15 million for Ben Jonson

[top dawg]

Well that's not a surprise. It's the guy that he's wanted for more than year. Tepper's going to do whatever it takes to get his guy. The Walmart guys aren't in the market, and  other owners probably aren't going to go to that exetent to get Johnson. If you're a betting man, put your money on Johnson to be the next HC.

Smfh. To be such an astute businessman he would make a god awful poker player.

Not exactly what Anderson is saying here.

Despite acknowledging the agent disputing the figure she says she trusts her sources, but also gives herself an out by saying "market rates and leverage points will evolve" through negotiations.

Breaking what, exactly?

We're not the current Lions though. Have fun coaching this trash heap.

I mean it in a sense that we have no idea where we are gonna be by February and it’s gonna be twists and turn city here.

My point is, winning the press conference doesn’t mean anything to me anymore. Some of the best coaches in the league received very little fanfare. Recent examples are the Eagles and the Dolphins current HCs. Heck, we rejected the Cowboys coach only to see him turn them into a consistent winner. It’s just hard to know how things are going to go until the games start. 

Of course, getting competent personnel decision makers in place and convincing Tepper to stay away would be major progress.

I prefer to be more positive.

Genuinely could not care less how much Tepper pays or wants to pay Ben Johnson. Coaches salaries don't count against the cap and Tepper clearly does not care if he has to spend money or not. 

Johnson is my number 1 guy this offseason, and Tepper has wanted him since last coaching cycle, so if it truly comes down to money Tepper probably won't allow himself to be outbid. My only question arises if he doesn't land him again. Because its been so widely reported how all in he is on him, it's gonna be so obvious that if he doesn't get him that whoever he hires instead is a second option lol.

With everything said i hope we do get ben Johnson as i wanted him last year but i am NOT fallin for the trap just like i didnt this year. We know some folks will and what they are gonna be saying around this time next season if that happens.

The fact that Tepper wants him scares me.

 

Everything he touches turns to shitt. I'm starting to lean towards Evero. At least we know what we have with him. Hire a good OC and it might be our best option.

 

 

 

 

It’s his influence. The meetings weekly and making coaches do it the Tepper way. You need to run more screens because I saw Sean Payton do it. 

 

 That’s the $hitt you are referencing…. He has to stop.

Well when you have money to throw around like it’s Pennie’s, you really don’t need to be a poker player.

Pay him a $5m base, then $1m per game won during the season plus SB bonus. Potential of $25m/yr if things turn around.

Paying big bucks for unproven (or retread) HC hasn't worked
