J33Edwards Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 hmmmm I would have liked the skins to bring him back but that is too much cash...he does not deserve anything more then the minimum due to his injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I agree. Min w/ incentives up to $1 mil extra for time played. That way if he gets hurt, we don't take any cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskinsfan Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 So Cleveland is VERY,VERY active in the FA market and quick to shore Offensive Holes.<br /><br />The Spurrier Complex is working quite well in the NFL. <br /><br />Tre Johnson is being crafty and if he pulls this off, he'll be on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, but not in the Pro Bowl. Just early retirement, some investments here and there (he is very literate in these regards, much like Troy Aikman, Chris Carter, Edgerrin James and some others. Not as rich, but will still make good use of it.<br /><br />Tre knows that it is very likely he's gone either at the end of 2002 or 2003. The body can only take so much, with some stadiums still using artificial turf and after so many slicings, and really bad injuries, it's very close to hanging up the helmet and boxing gloves.<br /><br />So he goes to the cow, with his stool and pail, grabs a working nip*le and starts to milk her.

NavyDave Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Danny is really p1ssing ownes off with his 2k spending on free agents copied last year by the Broncs and now the signing of coaches which cause the Bucs to overspend for Gruden.<br /><br />Now players are using the skins in their negotiations or extra benjamins.

bulldog Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Cleveland is very stupid throwing money around this offseason. Every deal they have made they have overpaid for the talent they acquired.<br /><br />Even if these guys turn out to be decent performers their cap is going to be shot if they keep this up much longer.<br /><br />Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark are impatient, always have been.<br /><br />For them, the future is always now. That is how the 49ers got into trouble and that is why the Browns had to fire their first coach and start over again from scratch after some very poor free agent signings their first couple of years.
