The FO needs to resign this badass. He is in the prime of his career with low mileage and a seemingly desire to want to stay paired up with Jstew, now this is something special. As an organization, business wise and fan wise it is imperative to keep that going on. I hope JR realizes this. Especially with Smitty getting old this team needs to keep it's few stars.

Dwill can catch, run and is a perfect all-round back. Don't give me crap about needing something from a tag and trade like more picks or players, we have plenty of trading ammo in the RBs, LBs and elsewhere but I think it is essential to keep double trouble at least for another 4 years. They are young, they are competitive. Dwill is a high character guy who has the skills to back it up and it would be stupid to let him get away.

I say sign him and use the tag somewhere else if need be. No one can say he wouldn't be worth his money. JR, put that PSL money to good use! Pay him!

If he wants a reasonible contract why not sign him.WE are in a league that requires 2 or 3 rbs.I may be wrong but I see teams leaning torwards multiple rbs versus one super star.Defenses have learned how to slow down the running game if they want to.The stock of rbs in general is declining in my opinion.As Riveria noted if they give you the pass you have to be able to pass and the same is true for running the ball.Fox ball is a dying stadegy.

We will not be spending a lot of money to keep Deangelo Williams when we have Stewart and Goodson. I like the guy as much as anyone but its just not going to happen...it wouldn't be smart financially. Especially considering he probably has 4 good years left and we are rebuilding.

I agree that we want spend a fortune but I have no reason to believe a deal will not be worked out.Goodson is not an every down back and we need 2 backs if not 3.I would like to see us stay with what we have a rb.No need to screw that up too.

Contracts and paying players are where the rubber meets the road in the NFL when it comes to ownership and management philosophies.

Case #1: Peyton Manning is about to become the highest paid player in the history of the NFL as he and the Colts are talking right now. CBA be damned, the Colts are wanting to make this happen regardless of what the new salary cap may look like.

Case #2: Jerry Richardson refuses to negotiate, sign or otherwise deal with his team until a new CBA is in place. He is more than willing to watch one UFA after another decide they'll play elsewhere rather than pay the man for what he can bring to the table.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
