Land Rush for Antrel Rolle: Who Gets Him?

[Pantherman]

I would say the bears would be the one closet to signing him. But the team with larger pockets like the cowboys and skins could offer even bigger contracts with larger amounts of money in them. If this kids agent knows whats best. Money is the main driving force at his age. Going to the bears would be a hugh misteak at this point. But at this point is seems Lovie Smith is doing everything in his power to save his job this year. By going after Rolle and Peppers. Bears over the next few days are going to be very busy. But they better worry about their WR core aswell. Because they have none.

You should add Kevin Greene and Kasey and Sam mills to the list of Big FA we picked up in Franchise history.

Let me clarify... I meant in terms of money.

[Kurb]

b/c spending money = success!

[TylerDurden]

b/c spending money = success!

no spending money on proven commodities like Rolle = success.

Not on guys like the ones we've blown money on.

Trash heap reclamation projects = success

why in the fug would a top five secondary in 2009 go and blow money on a safety when there are two young, promising cheap guys already on the team?

how in the world could you think that's a priority?

When we just blew up our line and are dangling our #2 CB for draft picks?

Not that I want Rolle.

I never said sign Rolle, I said a guy like Rolle that is proven at whatever position they play. Just using him as an example. Our big money guys weren't proven, but we paid an assload of money for them... That was my point.

We're never in the race for a big name guy that will command big money.

Josh McCown told me you would like some pie.

[Kurb]

Wahle was paid big Guard money and was proven.

Lucas was up and coming.

Keyshawn was a great option for a #2

Keyshawn was worth it but I guess the FO doesn't want anyone telling them the truth about themselves. Although I don't think Key got a big contract.

Regardless, Lucas and Wahle weren't worth the money.

You gotta admit Kurb, the times we made big splashes they weren't very successful.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Wahle (G), Lucas (CB), Kemo (NT), and even to an extent Evans (CB) were all either the consensus best at their positions in their FA classes or close to it.

Yelling about them after the fact is about as productive as yelling at a stop sign.

smh

so we aren't good at spending money, yet you complain we don't spend big money.
