I hope they are correct but I am not going to put money on it. If teams were positive about this you would have seen a lot more backloaded contracts and not a bunch of 1-2 yr deals. A lot can change in 5 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time football starts everyone who wants the vaccine would have been able to get it. Also the 1-2 year deals are more to do with the salary cap spike up that you will see in the upcoming years due to fans being able to go back to games, but more importantly the new TV deal that was signed which will cause a huge raise in the salary cap.

In 2019 we signed Lamarcus Joyner, Trent Brown, and Tyrell Williams to big deals in addition to trading for Antonio Brown. In 2020 we signed Cory Littleton, Nick Kwit, and Carl Nassib to big deals.

I understand what you are sayin but in this environment it is risky to project 5-6 months out. A state like Michigan might be on lockdown when the season starts and who knows what other states might have flares up over the summer. Currently hearing vaccine protection lasts at least 6-9 months. Hopefully longer but that puts at risk during the season. I want this to be over with but I would not put any money on the season not going as planned. Some people will not want to take the risk and as excitement wears off and some teams start to suck that number will probably grow. TV revenue matters the most and is locked in but I am not sure about the fans at stadiums bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 random thought: kinda suck Cory James and Marquel Lee fell off so quick. I thought there going be solid for us during their 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late round player, limited skill sets who were forced into action because the FO refuses to draft actual talent at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never understand this subforum always thinking and hoping our 4th to 6th Round LB selections are long term starters. They are temporary bandaid fixes and mostly just depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 At back to back A’s games today. Part of me misses the Raiders here but I can’t wait to go to that absolutely amazing stadium in Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they only flashed briefly in a few games.... that happens alll the time with these mid rounders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've invested a lot into the LB spot: Miles Burris, Sio Moore, Ben Heeney, Neiron Ball, Cory James, Marquel Lee, and Tanner Muse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
