The way I see it..  No need in signing him after training camp.  He will have ZERO chemistry and could be a hinderance more than an asset.

 

If he wants most $$$ than he doesn't care about what he is getting paid to do.  If I were in his shoes, I would take the best offer before training camp and get with my new team so I blend in before the season starts.

 

It is about winning championships as well as money.  If he is holding out for the last penny he don't care about winning a championship.

yeah cuz dwan Edwards certainly needed all that time with us in training camp and preseason with us to build all that CHEMISTRY to lead the division in sacks at DT last season right?

So you would compare Defensive tackle assignments to Safety assignments?

A safety has 3-6 people he has to know where they are, what they are suppose to be doing. Defensive Tackle pretty much has to know his job and who is next to him.

FAR Different.

What does that have to do with chemistry? And yeah I guess you're right why even allow a midseason trade deadline then right?

Teams make trades for various reasons and blending in is an obvious factor.  Every transaction is different.  Sometimes trades are made because of injury, sometimes they are to upgrade a position that you thought was a strength but it isn't.  Sometimes it is to get something for a player you might be losing at the end of the season.  I can guarantee that chemistry is a factor. 

 

My point with Mikell is.  Our Defensive backfield is up for grabs.  Battles at every position except Free Safety.  We need everyone we can getting used to the other.  Building Chemistry.

 

If he cares about football, then he needs to to be in camp so he can jell with the whole defensive backfield.  If he cares more about money then I don't want him.  Yeah it is a business but it is also about winning championships.  If he don't care about the latter.  Have a nice day and go join the Raiders.

 

 

I wouldn't sign him after training camp.  You obviously don't think Chemistry is an issue.  I do, so do most GM's or we would have signed TO or OCHO CINCO years ago.

more like waiting for training camp to be over. if he's holding out for more money from someone, he ain't getting it. it's the same buyers market it's been all season.

 

Not so sure I 100% agree with this.  There are two advantages for still not signing:

 

1.  Gets to skip most of TC (as you mentioned)

2.  Chance a S gets injured in TC and his value goes up (financial reason to wait)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
