Buddha Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Can't seem to find any contract details yet, but I gather that it will turn out to be far more than any of us would feel comfortable paying a 31 year old safety. My money is still on Scott Shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Marion was a long shot because at 31 he is still a very effective player and was highly regarded by Wannstedt who has coached him in Dallas and Miami. The money was another stumbling block, as his salary is likely to be in excess of what the Skins could afford. I think the Skins are going after value on defense, trying to get a veteran or two who can contribute significantly in 2001 but can be jettisoned in 2002 if need be.

indyskinsfan Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Yeah I found it at this location. Besides, I was tiring a little of so many ex-cowboys coming in. Then again, I need to remember, this is a business too. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news/20010609/miamarion.html Brock Marion is like the average vet that wants to maintain more income, but his age tells on him in a short while so, it would have never been a biggee for us. I guess he knew Marty wasn't coming in high with the cash, so he didn't even bother to keep his name out there. Seattle's had a history of good DB's and Safety's, like Blades, Robinson, so I thought they'd come through, if we didn't. Does this also mean that Dave Wandstedt has finally come to his senses?

NavyDave Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 He signed a two year deal with the phins. Thank goodness. We don't need any more aging overpriced ex Cowboy players. ------------------ Yes I'm paid to think and I need a raise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
