I posted with sourced links in another thread but...

 

 

Indy offered $5.5m and Car offered $4.5m

 

I think that's your reason for Nicks signing with Indy, not some fans angry stupidity.

 

And Olsen was our #1 Reciver last yearhe's still on the team.

 

He's a TE, we still need receivers.

 

Everywhere I've read says Nicks signed for 3.5 million.

Well the link I found related to the story was From ESPN, like I said I've got it linked in another thread, and you can google if you want, it listed that the Contract was worth up to $5.5m maybe it's $3.5m with $2m in incentives but total was $5.5 from what I found.

I see. Well since we don't know the particulars of our offer of $4.5 million, we don't know if that had added incentives in it too.

 

Bottom line, right now, it looks like he took less money to go play for the Colts.

 

As I said in another thread, the fact that we could not get him signed to a one year deal speaks volumes.

 

It's ridiculous that people are now labeling him a "pussy", yet most of the board had been clamoring for him for the past 6 months.

Been focused on other things, but I've been trying to keep up with things

 

I think the situation went something like this

 

Nicks wanted to play here more than a year being this is home. Gettle wanted one year and along with Steve being released, Nicks opted for Indy

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
