Scoundrel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Well this is nice. He’s 30 and expensive but we needed a player of his caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Reportedly for a 7th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 He carries a large salary and is 30 but definitely a big upgrade for you guys on the DL after missing out on Reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I've said I didn't want 30+ year old guys on their 3rd contract as FA targets, because the risk of decline is too great. Those risks all hold with Casey - he checks off all the tick boxes there. BUT....the kicker is there's no guaranteed money, it's a year to year contract. A Reader / Hargrave signing had more appeal because they are both at peak age, so playing at peak levels when our contention window expands was the ideal scenario - Casey is at huge risk of age-related decline. But, there isn't the same risk as with a FA signing, with a ton of dead money and guaranteed years here, either. As a plan B, it's better than committing a ton of $ and multiple guaranteed years to mid-level talents at the current market prices. Casey is also starting off from a baseline as a true inside disruptor. Basically, it's a 12M gamble with no future risk tied in for a guy who's been a difference-maker. Given who's left, I much prefer this to committing, say 2/20+ guaranteed (or higher) to who's left. And frankly, I'd much rather have Casey than Wolfe, especially since Wolfe might be getting more than 1 guaranteed year. It will be interesting to see if passing on Reader for 13.25M per year but taking on Casey's 24M/2-year non-guaranteed deal (and 13.75M for year 3) was the wiser move, though.
