I don't care about the kicker as long as he kick gooder. I think Sundberg replaced the Red Snapper when Shanny was here and has been since. (edit: I looked, Albright left sooner, so some guy inbetween...) Which made me look...he started in 2013 and has made 8.4 mill.

Probably $17-18m a year. I’d go a bit lower and say 15mil max. But 60-70% guaranteed and he walks into another deal aged 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most teams just have a guy who plays 10-12 years, replace him when he retires and then just have another 10 year guy? This is a total life hack. The sweetest spot of professional sports as a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to prom with another dude after the dude’s date bailed on him. He sat with a kid who was eating all alone in high school (or college?). I think he just got caught up in the limelight but he doesn’t seem like a headcase at all. Gibson waves to a rival player in a heated game and now he’s a potential problem child!? By all means, Juju is a not just a good dude but a great one. He kills it in the community, he is well respected in his own locker-room and is all around impressive given his young age. The issue is his playfulness can be seen as a lack of seriousness, and if you get enough of that, it can bring out the worst in others rather than the best. I think that is a big part of Claypool's immaturity for example. When the elder statesmen of your core is dancing on other teams logos, and scripting TD dances, that rubs off on the young guys. While he himself is not a headcase, he can help to build an environment that breeds them. As for Gibson, it has been well documented on this board that the specific wave vs Dallas was not his first example of taunting his opponents so I wont open that debate again. You can go back over the Gibson thread if you want the deets. While Gibby is by no means a full on showboat, If you have a player on the team that does some of the things Juju did last year, it will only embolden an impressionable young player like Gibson to push his own antics even farther.

I think the problem with Pitts is the fact the culture has gotten stale. What I mean is that the regime has been there so long, from the coach to the QB, that there is more a level of comfort than competitiveness. It's all great when they're winning, but as we saw, when things start to break down it's a cluster****. You can go through the history of inmates running the asylum there, from AB to Leveon to Ben... the culture there really expects players to take accountability for their own actions and if they don't then cya. I don't know if that necessarily reflects on the players and I imagine a more disciplinarian coach can iron out those kinks. Tomlin, for as good a coach as he is, seems perfectly content letting the players shoot themselves in the foot and then have to deal with the consequences.

PartyPosse Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I think market value and what players will get are two entirely different things. I don't think market value takes into consideration draft expectations (ie teams more willing to spend on a big FA may opt to go the cheaper route in a WR deep class) nor is it taking into account the unknown cap ramifications from this year. I would honestly be shocked if either Davis or Samuel got more than 10 mil a season and if they do it'll be a short term bridge deal for 2 years max. Teams are either gonna go after one of the marquee names or draft someone. Both Curtis and Corey could use one more really productive season to really prove their worth similar to what Robby Anderson did last year in Carolina. 28 minutes ago, JamesMadisonSkins said: sporrac has David at 3/39 for a 13m APY That would make him the 18th highest paid WR which is insane. edit I just realized you were talking about Lavonte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis at 10 and David at 13 vs Robinson at 20 I'd rather the duo (I don't think this is 2 DL for 1 in Brucy fashion). @PartyPosseWhat guys will get is really tough to gauge and again will depend on a cap of 175 vs 195 or whatever. However, every year FA opens and I have several "holy **** that guy got $$XXX!?!?!". So while you may be right, I won't be surprised if both get $10+.

KillBill26 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I continue to be a big proponent of signing samuel. I think he is a perfect fit for this offense. His numbers first few years were low, with cam a running qb and CMC hogging touches. He can stretch the field and mix it up with an occasional run. With tmacs and gibson's versatility, it will be a tough group to game plan for. I know 12 mil per sounds high, and I think we can get him for lower than that, but if thats the range that it takes to get him, do it. I think that this is much better value than a Rob (or attempt for amari last offseason) at 20 mil per. Here is a snippet that summarizes why I want samuel. He is my #1 wr target. “He doesn’t say very much, doesn’t complain, doesn’t make excuses; he’s just got a tough mindset. And he does whatever needs to be done. You can coach him. If he says something to me, I listen. I have a lot of respect for him,” Rhule said last month. “He’s so versatile, to be able ... to have someone who can run and catch and get open and block, to do it at his level might be rare, and it’s a lot of credit to him.“ This year, Samuel has 61 receptions on 72 targets for 585 yards and three receiving touchdowns. 30 receiving first downs have come from those receptions and his catch percentage is 84.7% — far higher than any previous year of his career (his three-season average coming into this year was 55.1%) and fifth-highest in the NFL. Does it help that Teddy Bridgewater is a more accurate quarterback than others who Samuel has played with? Sure, he’s completing 70.7% of his passes, second in the league behind Drew Brees. Not among Cam Newton’s best qualities is being accurate with the football, but Samuel has also proven to be reliable for Bridgewater. Samuel only has two drops this year, per Pro Football Reference. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article247854115.html PS - samuel is only 24 years old. PPS - double hard pass on juju. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'd rather pay $35 for a steak than spend $28 for a high end burger. I know its sort of the uncool less frugal approach but we did that years back ironically when we skipped Robinson for up and coming Paul Richardson. This isnt apples to apples granted. Robinson has evolved into one of the best receivers in the league and the other options are more attractive this time. But I am not paying 16 million for Juju or even 12 million for Samuel. If i am spending big, I am shooting for a high end player. If those are the prices ranges I am going for the fliet mignon, Allen Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Robinson has upside, he put up those numbers with poor and inconsistent QB play for his entire contract, that might be a reason he shys away from us but I hope its not. He's a complete player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
