Otah!

this thread and comments should make us all appreciate the fact that fans are not in charge of roster moves........

He was suppose to practice the last week of camp, and we are 7 weeks into the regular season and still no practice. IR him and pick up somebody who can play, instead of leaving a spot for someone who may not ever be ready this season.

We already have people who can play that are as good as anyone we could pick up. Only 45 0f 52 guys get uniforms each week. If better players were out there we would cut someone and pick them up anyway. O linemen do not grow on trees.

I'm not here to champion all the FO moves but.......would you rather have Otah for 1/2 a season or not at all? I'm sure the FO has mulled all this over and didn't expect to start the way we did.

come on, man. Every team is saddled with these types of decisions every week. You do understand that IR is final?

Yeah I do, but he still isn't even practicing yet. I'd put him and Davis both on IR and bring someone up or sign someone who might could help instead of dead spots. Especially with Davis blowing an ACL for the 2nd time in about 7 or 8 months, he won't be right for a year or better.

Ahh the "sign someone who might could help". No thought that the folks playing now are better than what's available as FA. Your proposal is to eliminate any thought that Otah or Davis might contribute this year so we can sign other players to ride pine.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
