Munnerlyn to Vikings- 3 year deal


SOJA

Recommended Posts

Gettleman killed FA last year by finding a bunch of other team's cast offs to sign for next to nothing. I hope he can do the same again this year, but I'm getting nervous about him being able to get that lucky 2 years in a row.

 

it's not luck, it's being able to properly evaluate talent.  something we never had before.

If Gettleman can find a way to sign Hardy longterm and then sign Charles Tillman, Sidney Rice, and Thomas DeCoud, I would consider this free agency a success.  Something like that should be reasonable, but so far Getts want to bring in cats like Roman Harper.

All that matters is the product put on the field opening day

Offense concerns me because of the timing and coordination required.

All that is left for Newton is Olsen an aging Williams, Tolbert and Stewart

Oline a mess. WRs a mess and secondary a mess

Gettleman has 5 months to fix it

 

This is exactly where we were the entire season.  OT, WR and DB were out biggest weaknesses all season, and they still are.  Nothing has changed.

 

DG fixed the DL last offseason, he'll fix one or two of the weaknesses this offseason, and we'll be right back in the thick of things.

we'll be able to answer this question in a couple of years, when we see if we are still in the playoffs and if those players are still with the same team.  I'm guessing that we'll be just fine, and they'll be cut as cap casualties.  Overpaying <> winning franchise.

 

It's a business both ways.  They are following the money, so let them go.  Good luck.  I am glad we don't have some idiot handing out $25M signing bonuses to C level players.

 

Let's hope he doesn't overpay Lafell. hehe

Fair enough, and I think with Gman's 20+ years experience as a scout, he's one of the better talent evaluators in the league. Still though, I think there's always going to be some level of luck involved in finding quality players for next to nothing, as you not only have to identify the talent, you have to have the rest of the league miss out on a guy. Like Ginn or Mitchell being undervalued by the rest of the NFL prior to last season, for example.

sure, the guys still have to be there.  what we get with DG, though, is someone who can bring in solid B level guys at B level contracts.  that will get us through until he can fill those spots with A level draft talent.  what we're not doing is paying B/C level guys A level contracts, which is what put us here in the first place.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
