Should we have signed Richard Marshall, assuming he would have stayed?

I mean the guy only signed a one year deal, and we are about 8 million under the cap. His contract dollar amount is not listed on rotoworld, but I am guessing it is 3-4 million.

I think we would all thought we were going to upgrade at the 2CB, but now that seems unlikely.

Trust me, I am not one to second guess every decision by the FO, and I don't know what kind of locker room guy he was, but this seems so weird that we let our own draft pick walk, especially since we are so thin at the position.

he wanted out, like Pep.. we should have traded him, like Pep, even if it was for a bag of chips..

I was thinking that it wasn't necessarily about getting out, I thought it was more about him getting paid. I guess he could have felt disrespected by not being offered an extension, but hell, nobody was.

Wish we could have signed him to a one year deal.

Now this could be it, I did not know of any personal stuff between him and the staff.

One of the first times I got to watch a practice, Meeks called Marshall out rather loudly. That happens with coaches, of course, but that plus things I read from interviews with Marshall (and speculation about him) gave me the impression he and Meeks weren't the best of friends. If so, then Meeks being retained as DB coach probably didn't help.

I haven't been a big fan of Marshall as a starter, but objectively is he better than what we have now? Probably :(

Some things are just inevitable though.

Marshall was a dickhead.

Best thing the Panthers could have done is to hold back on some of their overspending (like giving DLo maybe 10mil in guarantees instead of 20mil) and went and picked up another corner. Banking on Hogan not only playing, but playing well, was a mistake.

He was far and away better than any of our other corners not named Gamble, but for the last 2-3 years I just remember him constantly bitching. It's too bad Gettis went down, because it would have been fun to see him burn Marshall for a TD. I just can't believe they didn't pick up a guy like Rogers. He's on a 1 year deal in SF not making a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

      I know the offer to Lloyd came out, but I never saw that anything was officially offered to May or Donovan. Not saying it didn’t happen, just curious what the source is.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By strato · Posted

      I haven’t scouted them to say, because I am not GM and have no say. The Miami kid, but he will probably be gone. Freeling. Proctor is interesting. Like I said I haven’t really scouted but I would look closer at him because I have seen some claiming he has the quickness and feet even at his inflated size. So I would look closer at that.  My ideal outcome is one of the top guys who are probably not gonna fall, falls and we use 19 on him. Obviously, I guess. I am  not wanting to trade up or anything - not putting it like code red at all costs, but if we get a chance to get that covered I would for sure want to take it.  Also it looks like we might be able to drop down a few slots and find a future RT at decent value which I would also be fine with.  I think if someone fell that made 19 a hot pick, then I would want to trade out unless it was a top T.  I would probably want to get a run stopper for the DL if the tackle thing didn’t fall right. That is what I voted for here because I feel it is more likely that we don’t have things fall to fit my scenario.
