stugotz81 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They know he wont be there at 18/dont want to give up picks to move up in draft. Only way is to include player I think he may slip to 18....I dont think he #1 TE on everyones list as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 He was one of the first players we contacted, so I have to imagine they were fairly intent on bringing him in. However, considering it's taken this long, it stands to reason that Idzik let his agents test the market and there weren't as many interested teams as he thought. It's a solid signing to pair with Cumberland, but I would imagine it's not for a large deal, so it shouldn't change the fact that if Ebron, Amaro, ASJ and Nilkas are BPA at their respected rounds in the draft, we'll select them. For all those getting ulcers in the first 20 hours of free agency, this is how you build a team. Fill your needs with quality players, let the draft come to you so that you can go BPA and retain cap-flexibility for future moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 idzik doing exactly what he said he would. fill the holes so that jets neither feel pressure to fill a hole in the draft nor pass on a BAP player because of a FA signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 A double TE set with Cumby, Petigrew and Decker bodes well for a run first team. We just need a pass catching back and were set. This will be a chain moving offense. Slow, methodical. I love it Chris Johnson instead of Bilal Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Fck! So no Ebron in the draft then?! Fck! Why do you say that? Pettigrew doesn't prevent drafting Ebron if he's there. Further, it removes gambling the position on other teams NOT drafting him. Then there's the other thing, which is that Ebron might not be all that once he's playing with the adults (or not for some time anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Love this signing!! +1 Unless there was a Vernon Davis just waiting for us to grab as a free agent, the next-best thing is to sign a legit starter whose contract isn't so ludicrous that it prevents looking at that position earlier in the draft. Now our fallback at the position - our WORST case scenario - is Pettigrew+Cumberland. If Ebron falls to us and we grab him then it's the 3 of them for the '14 season and just Ebron+Pettigrew a year later (Cumberland is cuttable with no dead cap hit after this season). Also a possibility some team who sustains an injury to their starting TE could fork over a pick for Cumberland or Pettigrew if there's no one left to sign. Strategically, anyway, it's really a perfect signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Like that it removes TE as a need, not a huge fan of Pettigrew as a player so I'm curious about years/money - he's alright though. I see no confirmation of this anywhere though. Just a Rotoworld post based on a Mehta tweet saying that Pettigrew would be signing with a team shortly. No indication of what team though.

Exactly, I think if they signed Pettigrew it was insurance for not being able to get Ebron at 18 which is pretty likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker is a solid guy, and a decent starting-caliber player, but Pettigrew is a mess whom Detroit couldn't wait to get rid of.

TehFalcon63 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We don't need Ebron, we have Cumberland and Pettigrew. I really think Cumberland is very underrated as a receiver. Get a safety or a G (assuming we get another WR in FA and re-sign Cro). Later in the draft, I also want to get a HB. I really like Andre Williams. Tre Mason as well. Easily plays football faster than anyone I've ever played against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TnT Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Now that we have both Petti and Cumby under contract, maybe we can get both of them to agree to surgically attach Petti's torso and arms To Cumby's hands and legs to form a super tight End...We'll throw them a couple extra million... And we'll all be happy... THE END Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither player should influence where the team goes with its draft picks. Nonsense. If they couldn't wait to get rid of him then what stopped them from letting him play out his full contract? What it influences is the team no longer needs to reach at either position. That is a positive influence to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither player should influence where the team goes with its draft picks. I think you may have misinterpreted my meaning of BPA. I'm not sure which post I addressed that in, but I stated explicitly that neither signings should prevent them from choosing a WR or TE should they be BPA. I actually am advocating the former, as I still very much so want Lee or Beckham. The market was cold on Pettigrew, but he's still got 1st round pedigree and if signed for a relatively low deal, which I assume it will be, it's not something that you can really complain about.
