John Abraham = Al Wallace can we make it happen?

[I am Hubby]

Hey, I am a Gamecock fan, and even I have to think he has gone off the deep end. Where it comes to his own self worth anyway.

A 34 year old 12 year vet is not going to get that kind of money. Players make their money with their second contract. After showing their value during the first one. He is an oft injured, situational player, wanting All-Pro money.

If he would take part time money, I would give it a shot. Or load it with incentives and see if he can play at a high enough level to achieve them.

Then again, if he were to come here, he would only take reps away from the kids who actually need them. There is some young talent on the line. We have to see what they can do with a year of experience, a full off-season, and most importantly, more coaching.

If we do add any players to the line they will be draft picks, or cheap FA pickups. I know it sucks. But hey, we are moving in the right direction. And our goal (Improve the team.) is still on target. Be patient grasshoppers.

Giddy in Pantherland. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, no. I guess I don't want him after all.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. And GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a wide canyon between 12 million a year and affordable....I laughed when I heard that the Giants might be interested...aren't they shaving it close when it comes to the cap as well?

First off the title of this thread is insulting to Abraham. Al Wallace has nothing on Abraham. And they really have nothing in common.

I was talkng about the role he would play for this team.

I thought it was pretty self-explanatory.

[Catweisers]

Would be a wonderful addition if this is where he wanted to be. Sometimes being in a Cinderella Story is worth something.

He tore us up a few games the guy is a hoss!

[Pimpdaddy]

...Hasbeens and expectations.... Jer has learned his lesson... 1 mil max. He's not of the ilk of Buckner and Rucker... Whats next, Randy fkin Moss.

Dude had like 9 sacks last year. I would give him a Ron edwards deal. 2-3 years 2.5-3 mil a year.

We'd give him 2x that.

He wants 12 a year.

[koolkatluke]

We'd give him 2x that.

He wants 12 a year.

He won't see 12 mil a year no matter how much he wants it.

We don't want him for more then 3.5 -4 mil so you can have him if you pay that. Like I said he is a back-up on this team.

Backup to who?

I'll give you Charles Johnson, but Abe had 9.5 sacks last year while getting doubled all the time.

Back up to our younger players who stay healthy a full season. I would be awesome to have Abraham on our team but he wound be in a rotation and not be a starter. He is your best DE on the team so I understand why you guys would pay more and also understand why you will not pay 12mill cause he is not worth it.

CJ and Hardy. Both are younger and can stay healthy a full season. Sorry but Abe is a rotation guy for us not a starter.

3.5 of those sacks came from the shitty Jaguars.

[csx]

1. Even at his age and with his injuries he's a much better DE than Hardy. He would be the starter.

2. He's not going to be on this team regardless so it doesn't really matter.

3.5 of those sacks came from the pooty Jaguars.

...and 5.5 in two games....well over half his season total in two games.

No he wouldn't. I know PfF got everybody down on Hardy but he was a 1st year starter, with no offseason, learning a new system, and no TC (due to injuries). Cut the kid some slack. He did have 50 tackles and 11 pass def.

Abe doesn't start for us if he comes here.
