#27TheDominator Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm happy with him. Outside of Byrd and now Revis, none of this year's free agents are worth blowing a load on, imo. You are obviously more stingy with your loads than the rest of JetNation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 first off, his Revis trade now is iconic. we get a 1st and 4th and Bucs get him in his rehab year coming off surgery. Now we have a chance to get him back. If that happens it may be one of best GM deals ever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You think we're signing Decker? There are other teams who keep in-demand players at the facility all day long. I saw no big conversion chart that showed all others, other than Decker, were in & out of the facility with (or without) a contract. If we take all day and get him signed I don't care. If we take all day and don't get him signed I don't care (unless he signs elsewhere for $6M/yr, in which case I'll care). Wasn't long ago that people said we were taking too long in getting compensation for Revis. That we should have taken the (alleged) 2nd rounder when we had the chance. Then we end up with the #13 pick and it turns into Sheldon Richardson. Plus another pick this year (#112?) as gravy. Just saying you should calm down. A team with a dozen draft picks shouldn't be pigeon-holing themselves in an upcoming draft. Personally I think they need to add a receiver, whether it's Decker or whoever, because the team needs more than 1 and the odds of picking up two starting WRs - each of whom proves to be starter-worthy as rookies - in the same draft are about zero. Beyond that I'd like to see one offensive lineman added for the same reason. The money for Austin Howard was ridiculous. He's a below-average RT. The alleged improvement in pass-blocking from '12 to '13 dismisses that he just changed from blocking for a statue to blocking for a VERY mobile QB. Really, he's nothing to get upset over. He took the money from the Raiders because he & his agent knew that's the best offer he'd get from anyone. Because he isn't very good. He's fine. But what I don't need to see is the team blowing half their cap room on 2 players whose contract may be half over (or more) by the time Smith "gets it" or has been replaced. At that time it would be nice to have the flexibility we've got today without dooming the team 2-4 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man, I disagree with you. A 7 or 8 million dollar contract for Decker doesn't "doom the team" 2-4 years down the line. Not even close.

Sperm Edwards Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's not me. I'm not saying they have to spend every penny. I'm saying make a move. They need to make the right move(s), not a move. Sometimes the right move is not making one. I wish those non-moves at QB were the ones Tannenbaum made in March of 2012. Every free agent is great the day they're signed. Remember Faneca? Sure we were desperate for a LG, but $20M guaranteed for a guy who didn't last 3 seasons? He got replaced by freaking 2nd-year Matt Slauson who'd never started before. It would seem great if we'd done all our spring shopping in the first 12 hours. So what? I want to see how the team looks in August, not in March. We have a dozen draft picks coming up in what everyone keeps saying is a stupid-deep draft class. Really, you should relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, we're top 3 in cap space. Unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
