Re: Current 2014 Free Agents

I don't understand why some are so willing to let Riley walk. Yeah the price has to be right, but here is a solid guy, who we drafted, has done everything asked, and been at the least solid.

He, to me, is the very definition "keeping our own".

Don't get it either.

People preach about developing our own talent, but then always have their eyes on everyone else's talent.

Doesn't make much sense to me to let a 25 year old LB who has played well in our system walk.

Particularly when the other ILB spot ALREADY needs to be filled. So let's pay for guys who are either going to be (1) overpriced by market demand; (2) short term cheaper older guys on the downside of their career and who are unfamiliar with our system; or (3) unwanted younger guys of questionable talent who are also unfamiliar with our system - IN BOTH ILB SPOTS.

That's sounds like an excellent plan.

I doubt he'd make it but hey, let him prove he's done.

Ive never been a TO hater, but I dont want this guy anywhere around camp or our new head coach just because of the media circus that would follow him. We need ZERO distractions from now until week one.

@HTTR24_7
@TheIrishJihad Can't pay a good player elite money period. It messes up your whole salary cap structure.



This is my whole deal with paying Orakpo elite money. I'd rather him walk.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents

I'd scoop up Jackson in a second. It's one of those moves that would work out GREAT for another NFCE team. WE need that.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents

They say that Jackson and the Browns broke up amicably after a salary reduction effort was rejected. Therefore perhaps Jackson will want $$. But he would look good in the b&g.

Well, JG certainly knows Jackson's strengths and weaknesses having gameplanned for him twice a season. It would be interesting to hear the conversations between Haslett, JG and BA about how hard they should pursue him. Riley, Jackson Barnett(is he still on our roster) and a rookie might be a nice ilb group.

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents

Do we resign Rob Jackson now that Orakpo seems hopeless? Looks we are not going to tag him and talks seem to be not in the same ball park.

I hope he goes to Dallas. Lol

I'd like to re-sign Rak. Just not above several mil and 4 mil guaranteed. Look at these guys contracts. LOL Cowpukes, though I guess Spencer's in the last year of his typically backloaded contract?
