keggerz Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 How do you sign a 31 year old cornerback to a 6 year $57 million deal with $27 million guaranteed? Because you are all-in to make another SB appearance and leave with a win this time...That and he won't see close to 6 years...probably 1 year, 2 max.

CaptainHook Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep . . . Broncos are going for it next year that's for sure . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ward and Talib will certainly shore up their secondary(for as long as Talib stays healthy), but they lost the SB because they couldn't block a really good pass rush. So then they let Beadles get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I really feel for Raider fans. All that cap room and they let their 2 best players leave for reasonable contracts. One has to wonder what the hell they are thinking in Oakland. I bet Raider fans wish they had Al back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I expect Decker to get overpaid, essentially getting near WR1 pay where I don't consider him a bonafied WR1. Depending where he lands, it's going to effect his fantasy production as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningMud Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) How do you sign a 31 year old cornerback to a 6 year $57 million deal with $27 million guaranteed? Waste of money. Way overpaid for an injury risk. 25.5m guaranteed. Awful! Edited March 12, 2014 by MorningMud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Revis to Denver would be nice. I am of the opinion that we need to fix the secondary with some proven vets who still have some gas in the tank. We should draft a WR to replace Decker. Talib will do just fine as well. Now we need to resign Cromartie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to wonder what the hell they are thinking in Oakland. I bet Raider fans wish they had Al back. In all fairness, the Raiders(13.3% state income tax) would have had to offer Veldheer a bigger contract than Arizona (4.54%) to be breakeven due to state income taxes. Not saying they couldn't have done that but that just looking at Veldeer's contract number isn't an apples to apples comparison when you say what the Raiders could have signed him for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending where he lands, it's going to effect his fantasy production as well. That sure sounds like a New York Jets type of signing to me! Think Santonio Holmes.

NAUgrad Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It was reported that after signing Talib that they pulled their offer to Cro. Talib will stick around with Denver for about 4 years and he's better than Cro. Unfortunately he's better when healthy. Hope this doesn't back fire on Elway. They still need help at CB and especially MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So the state income tax in California was higher. Veldheer wanted to stay, and they ended up paying more for Saffold after Veldheer left. My point is, with $60 mil in cap room, it's silly to let your best players leave over maybe a million dollars per year because you're trying to cut your negotiations just that close. They need talent on that team, they can't afford to let it just walk away. Then again, it's Da Raiders, so who really gives a crap, lol.

Papajohn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Maybe Verner is starting to regret his contract. He really is the steal of free agency so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Like the Browns moves (Whitner/Dansby) so far, but not sure they were much of an upgrade they are over Ward/DQ, either talent wise or money wise. Also read they signed CIN WR Andrew Hawkins to an offer sheet that the Bengals can (but probably won't) match. They could still use a G, maybe a tackle and RB. Also a center if they fail to retain Mack (transition tagged). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It was reported that after signing Talib that they pulled their offer to Cro. I saw that after posting. I guess we can't spend but so much on the secondary, but damn, Talib and Cro together would have been awesome. I guess I'd rather have Ware than Cro anyhow (fingers crossed).

stevegrab Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Interesting, now there are reports that the Bengals will match the offer sheet for Hawkins, so he probably will remain there. http://www.ohio.com/blogs/cleveland-browns/cleveland-browns-1.270107/browns-still-have-need-for-slot-receiver-because-bengals-plan-to-match-offer-to-andrew-hawkins-1.472545?localLinksEnabled=false I did see a rumor about Tate and the Browns, not sure how I feel about that. As for linemen, I'd just prefer they match the offer to Mack and keep him. The wholes at guard will have to be filled through the draft.
