Gettleman Made Nicks an Offer, But Nicks Says, "It Wasn't The Right Situation."

[TheRed]

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.

If I had to guess Nicks probably didn't think the panthers were a great way to pad his numbers so he could get his last big contract. He probably thought Luck and the colts had a more potent offense and he was going to shine with them.

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.

So Gettlemen made an offer and then said it wasn't the right situation?? Makes no sense.

Means Indy would pay X, Hicks wanted X.......Gettlemen would only offer Y.

[BANE]

Lol, so much for the foolish thoughts that G-man "was never interested".

[beastson]

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

[unicar15]

We just paid a backup safety 4.5 mil...and didn't pay Nicks. Great.

[Snake]

He prob wanted a payday next year and didnt think the Panthers were going to give it. He has known DG for a long time and we were prob his last choice.

[TheMaulClaw]

5.5 million if he hits his incentives...so pretty close to borderline #1 money if he gets the stats

Bad number 1 money. What a first round pick makes.

[KendrickPanther]

90% of "the right situation" involves money. Whether you work at Target or Barney's. Money defines how good the situation is.

[party_animal]

We may have had a longer deal on the table for 4.5 mil avg per year. Nicks thought he was worth more and took the contact in Indy to try to cash in next year.

I hope this thread features a lot of crow eating from those Gettleman taint lickers who said "we weren't interested in him." Mr. Scot especially for being such a smug ass about it.
