Burgold Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 At this point, I would lock the Marties and McClaurin's agent in a room with a doggy door. Every six hours I would slide food through that door. No one leaves until a bathroom get done. They get food, water, and no bathroom breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how they did some of the bigger ones ala Trent and Kerrigan before Ron was here. Why? Because as Breer said, some owners want to make interest on their money and hold it as long as possible. The other part of that is for the bigger contracts you got to park a lot of money. Lets say Terry gets 60 million guaranteed -- Dan has to escrow that 60 right away. Also if you do a major signing bonus to spread the cap hit, that money gets doled out right away. So in short a big money contract requires big money allocation right from the jump. the pain is spread out on the cap but the pain is front loaded for the owner. So having one of the least successful owners outside of the team does IMO have some consequences to it. For FA you have no choice if you want your guy. But as far as extending your own players you can punt on it and hold on to your money longer. So the waiting probably cost us an extra 5 million a year on the cap. Foolish. But yeah its one of a million reasons why Dan sucks. I do think though they get this done. Terry has been on all the rebranding materials. It would be odd to move on from him after that along with other reasons why it would be odd. I was listening to Standig reference the point this morning as have others. If they landed Russell Wilson this off season it would have likely been a game changer as for their PR issues. It would have given them buzz that this team hasn't had in eons. Part of the rhetoric from the Virgina legislators as for no stadium beyond the obvious stuff about Dan is there is no excitement about this team in the community. Denver landed Wilson and got 5 prime time games -- they have big time buzz. We couldn't even get 1 Sunday Night game. In their defense, i don't think this was lost on them in advance as to landing a QB who would bring some desperately needed buzz to a team that has little to none via causal fans or nationally. They did try hard to do it. It is what it is. So no complaining from me. I like the Wentz move but its not hard to miss that i am in the minority and the move has zero buzz nationally or with casual fans. People here, at least most of us, get excited about players like Cole Turner but more casual fans are looking for those marquee names that this team hasn't majored in during Dan's era. My point is, I think they realize they can't afford to lose Terry. Terry isn't a national name like a Russell Wilson or name that other marquee QB or top 5 kind of player. But he's the best we got on that front. For a team that's bleeding fans, I don't think they can afford to lose their most popular and arguably best player. Plus what type of message would that send to their own locker room and the rest of the league? It would feel a bit like European soccer where star players of lesser clubs push their way out because they want to win. IMO it would be a PR debacle. And I think this regime gets it. Coming from one of the bigger fans of the Wentz deal, I still admit the PR value of it if anything was a net negative let alone just gave them no buzz. And I'd bet they are shell shocked by it because most of the national media is clowning on them. I am a bit shocked by it myself. Some would say who cares about national buzz and more casual fans. But I think they do and they should. Part of the decline of this team as a marquee franchise is that national fans/media see this team as irrelevant, it's not a big club anymore. It was one of the only teams whose local TV audience actually declined last season. Almost dead last in fan attendance with even the Jaguars having more fans in the stands. We are probably just a season or two away from surpassing the Jaguars as the team that the NFL might push to play in London once a year since the home fan attendance isn't hot. So yeah I'd be stunned if they don't work it out with Terry. I put it on Dan that they waited this long to do the contract. I know some disagree with me on this but I've learned over the years if i bet against Dan, the odds that I end up right are much higher than the rare times I gave him the benefit of the doubt. And if Ron was asked the question why did He (Rivera) not extend Terry M. I would say you need to ask the owner about that one. Plain and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, the pipe burst is mismanagement and destruction. We got that **** on lock. Let me know when the team is good at building something like a stadium. (which they also want to make look like a toilet bowl...) Commodes indeed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I think the solution at this stage is to bring Collins back to fill that positional void. Only caveat being if a player is cut that represents a real upgrade at pure LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Collins and Alexander Johnson are the only two that might be worth it, but they don't really seem like much of an upgrade. We have Davis, Holcomb, Hudson and Mayo and nobody else, right? Don't teams usually carry 6? I could see us carry heavy at DB, but we don't really have much back there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
