Does anyone else think Robertson has been sitting around waiting for us to sign him?

It's a perfect scenario, but what if Peppers is unwilling to sign right now. He's set to make 1 million dollars a game. Why should he renegotiate a contract that will lower that per game amount? I'd wait until years end, but then again it is Peppers/Carey...

well we got until the 15th to find out.

If Pep does sign a long term deal Im think the first year "G" money would be around 10mil or so. That going to clear up room for Jason Kyle and maybe two, one year lowball offers.

i thnk there are two things driving this new discussion about robertson: 1) he has been on the market for how long and still without a job? that drives the price tag down. 2) peppers is likely on the verge of a long term contract which may loosen up the coinage. robertson price going down a little and our cap room loosening up just a little may make it work.

Everyone would like that to happen, but really are you going to take speculation by the Observer that far? They said he might want to sign a long term contract, but honestly don't read too much into that until we hear from Peppers himself.

and yeah he's been on the market for a long time, and that very well could be from him not wanting a low contract figure.

Also, I do not know the exact figure, but after signing all of our rookies, and possibly some of the FA pick ups, I doubt we have enough to sign Robertson. Unless he wants to play for a low figure or the minimum, which I doubt he does.

I mean damn, we didn't even keep Gary Gibson(or Jason Kyle, Darwin Walker, etc.) who was doing pretty damn well and would have played for the minimum, can't imagine Hurney signing Robertson.
