This at least gives Howie a season or two to get our solution. Maybe we get lucky and the solution is already here in Greedy. The solution for the aging CB was extending Bradberry, but extending two CBs at 30 or after in the same offseason is rough, specially with a top 10 pick on a good CB class. We address the DL when there's far less of a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing slay, CGJ and Hargrave would've been even more difficult. Do I like the contract no. Do I like keeping or CB duo yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadway Joe Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm surprised that a franchise in which their 3 most successful teams (2004,2017,2022) had strong and versatile safety play can have such disregard for the position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted option (A) JB & CGJ. Option B is what we got and I'm ok with that too. Contracts suck but we gotta give Hurts the best chance next year to try to get us back n win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap wise I mean. I would think yes and that would have been a better scenario because we know Maddox won't play the whole season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 This is all fine on the football forum. But there’s real life people involved. Sometimes there’s take it or leave it deals. Sometimes (either party) have to make decisions and potentially move on without them. Nature of the business. Feelings and pride get hurt, agents and friends feed into egos. Players and GMs make rash decisions. Timeline, deadline and money constantly changing throws variables into a situation when sometimes it’s not as fluid as one would expect. Maybe Howie had a hard deadline to do a deal and their camp was playing around trying to get more money. Maybe CJGJ had a more lucrative deal fall through. Tons of possibilities. It’s not just as easy as saying if we had the extra 4-5M he would have signed. Im sure if that’s all that it was, we could have freed up the cash to do it.

He's to Egotistical to come back to Howie with his tail between his legs asking for that ,after "supposedly" turning down his pre-FA offer. CGJ could of cashed in on a multi-year dbl digit APY offer but thought, I can get more. Howie was absolutely right to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this all started with the Cox is the only bad contract, which adds to the Slay contract as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
