The article didn't say anything new that hasn't been said before. I am heartened to read that 'he works hard' in the gym and whatnot, however, it's still that work ethic that is the problem. If you can just 'take games off', and these scouts know that, who in their right mind will deal anything for such a guy? Maybe a Belichek can get the most out of him, or a Cowher, but maybe they can't either. There was no intereste for him last off season, why would anyone think there will be now, with him a tear older, AND past 30 at that?

We shouldn't waste time with a 'franchise tag' on him. We also shouldn't let a potentially good deal get away because of an unrealistic expectation of a great one. If we can get SOMETHING for him, we should do it. He wants out of here, and he's not worth a million plus a game. And even just lettting him go might not be so bad. Getting rid of that much money obligated for performances that you can not count on isn't a wise expenditure.

      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.
