I don't understand how people draw this conclusion. It completely defies logic. It all depends on what teams are willing to pay now, not what he has been paid as a result of past contracts. For example, Jake Delhomme left us with 12 million in guarantees still owed to him. That didn't prevent him from getting 7 million more ion guarantees from the Browns.

The point is he is not going to be demanding as much as he would if he were a free agent coming off a sucessful season. Certainly the price will depend on what other teams are willing to pay him and how long they are willing to sign him for. He is a proven veteran receiver, and would have to pay him fairly well. But I don't think we would have to break the bank to get him. If the price does get to high, then we drop out.

That being said, imo we aren't going to pick up anyone at WR. I think the staff thinks that eventually some of our current group will play well enough.

I am still floored that people actually think that TJ will sign a cheap or short contract just because the Seahawks are paying him 7M. He is 32 and still a good rep as a WR. This will prob be his last null contract. He will be looking to be paid. He WILL NOT have to settle for a small contract.

That is all.

Aside from all this TJ talk, I wouldn't mind seeing the Panthers drop Martin for David Clowney (Jets). He is an awesome ST player, faster than Martin, and a better WR than Martin will ever be. I may be biased considering we went to Virginia Tech together, but this guy would definitely be an upgrade.

Sorry I had to leave this wonderful internet forum for a few hours.

Anyway the reason I threw that reading insult out there would be because what's-his-name was obviously trying to misconstrue what I was saying into something else. It irritates me when people do that as it just shows they have no real leg to stand on in an argument and are solely there to be annoying. Or else they really have no reading comprehension, but I like to think it is the former. Call it optimism in humanity.

And you say he won't sign a small contract. Well we obviously disagree there. I bet he ends up signing a contract for roundabout 3 mil a season. We'll just have to wait and see who's right. And I hope you're right about LaFell and the gang stepping up and doing great this year, but I don't think they will and Steve only has a few more years left before we won't even have him.

Oh and Matt Jones would be a nice pick-up, as well.

Define small contract? I am not saying that he will be paid league minimum. Seattle gave him a 4 year 40 million contract last year. Whichever team gets him is going to pay significantly less than that I think.

Our WR needs will be improved when we move Schwartz to RG and Otah returns to RT. We need to be looking at DT (someone like Tramaine Johnson or Martin Tevasu would be a huge upgrade over Hayden) and OL depth.

At WR, who do you think you will find in the garbage bin that will lead us to the promise land? Gettis, Edwards, and Lafell will improve when the interior line and starting RBs get involved in the offense. They are going to be green, but all three of our Rookie WRs have higher upside than the the trash.

Rhys Lloyd--time to come home to Carolina.

Oh, and until Davidson improves, we will always be limited.

TJ is going to demand and go after every dollar that he can in the next contract. Anyone who believes different is kidding themselves.

There will be teams such as the Redskins who are willing to overpay for a big name. That is their m o.

Why do you want Lloyd back here? He had one total touchback in the entire preseason....kicking two games in a dome. He is done.

Of course he will do that, they all do. But I don't think the team that gets him will pay anywhere close to what Seattle paid. They will get him relatively cheap, relative being the key word. Owens got what, about 2 million or so to sign with Cincy for one year? I would expect that T.J. probably will get a similar contract, at least in terms of dollars per year, or maybe a bit more because he is younger.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
