I think it'll be fine he's worked with Moore before. I'm more concerned for Steve Smith, although this injury won't hinder his speed or his cuts you have to wonder when these injuries will take their toll. He's broken this arm twice now in basically the same area, he's had shoulder issues, hamstring issues, and we all remember his horrendous broken leg in 04 where I believe he tore some ligaments as well. I hope it's no big deal though.

Maybe this is why we have 9 other recievers on the roster right now. Trying to find the next Steve

It isn't whether Smith needs camp or not but with almost 3 months before the opening kickoff will he be ready for the season. Of course he would be better off being in camp but in a way this could be a blessing in disguise. If his arm was susceptible to reinjury I would rather it happen now when we have time for him to recover for the season opener that have him break it in the preseason and miss the first half of the year. There is never a good time for an injury but at least we have time to get him ready. I suspect that it won't take that long to get on the same page with Smith. It isn't like Moore is new. They should be okay as the season unfolds. The fact that Moore has chemistry with other guys as well will only help Smith not have to be the featured guy this year.

Damn, smitty. If ya wanted to take it easy during training camp, ya could have just said something! Lol

On the serious side, there is time for to heal, and be back at the start of the season. I also like that we'll now get to see a lot more of our younger guys, getting time in with out starters.

dammit....seems like every year we get bit like this! :mad2:

That is part of the reason I was complaining months ago about what happens when you get rid of so many veterans and then have our normal amount of injuries and issues which have been excesive the last several years. When a guy goes down like Smitty and you already let Moose go, you end up with someone like Jarrett being your most experienced WR in our system.

Good lord......................

Everyone calm the f*ck down. There are 12 weeks til the season opener. A typical broken arm takes half that time to heal. He'll be fine and probably ready to go before training camp is even over. The coaching staff will likely hold him out until the regular season to be on the safe side, but this is in no way an emergency.

I've got to be honest with you.

I think this will help Moore and Clausen out a ton, not to mention the young recievers. More balls to them and more chemistry. Smith will be back and won't miss a beat, but this gives guys like Jarrett, Rosario, King, Barnidge, and Lafell time to get a good rapport with both QB's.

Get well soon Smitty

And tell me. Moose is still good enough to replace steve smith?

Moose wasn't evven getting good enough numbers to remain a starter.

Love the guy. I would have liked him back to do the ricky proehl role, but at some point ya got to allow the younger guys play. Can't rely on old and slow.

As far as leadership, steve smith can still lead by example with his work ethic. And continue to give the other guys help.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
