Sperm Edwards Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Beerfish said: Guy carved out a decent career for himself. Absolutely. We never should have let him go. Neither Winters nor Aboushi were ready to go as rookies (not to mention we let him go before drafting either one anyway), and what made it so much worse was Chicago inked him for the vet minimum like $800K that year, so we didn't even benefit from a comp pick which almost seemed to be the goal of that 2013 offseason even though we maxed out with 4 without him. After sitting behind Faneca as a rookie, he earned the starting job every year of his career for the 9 straight seasons thereafter, was as good or better than any OLman we've had for the past 3 seasons, and finished with career pretax earnings of just $12.9MM. (Oh, and a surely some lingering effects of his back injury forever.) Guy might have been the best bargain in the league for a decade, and we drafted him & let him go in his prime for nothing. Lol. Hopefully those lingering effects aren't bad and he gets to live a normal life. Reading an article or two it looks like he's got a good chance to make a post-playing career as a positional coach at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
