Until the gross move, we didn't have much money to spend. So he indeed was bargain shopping. Doesn't mean he is cheap, we just didn't have the capital to make moves for other players.

This sucks, we could have had him. Oh well.

Then I guess every other GMs are bargain shoppers also. Fans act like Gettleman is the only one signing guys for 1yr contracts, etc.

No, you're just acting naive and thinking we're the only landing spot for free agents.

In most cases.. Those other teams are either contenders, which make them a lot more attractive than us. Or they are the former team of the player. So they don't want to move and learn a new system.

Just more reason for these players to take one year deals.

All the guys that Gettleman signed weren't going to get any bigger contract elsewhere. Do you believe that with me? Ok

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
