I wish the kid luck. I don't hate him as much as say Booth who I thought was total trash from the very begining.
He played nearly the entire AFCC against KC, I watched the all-22 and he wasn't that bad. I think he gave up 3 catches for about 30-35 yards, wasn't amazing by any means and he definitely is prone to getting beat on comebacks, but he wasn't just getting abused up and down the field like Booth was in that second Eagles game.
I mean we still have to add a corner. Again the problem is what kind of corner do you add. If the thought is that Diggs is done after this year, then it needs to be someone high end and on a long term deal. Of course a draft pick you get for 4 or 5 years so that could be the thought process. My preference would be to actually sign Asante Samuel Jr. to like a 3 year deal and then worry about Bland. But free agents are lucky to get a 2 year deal out of us.
2 yr/25 million seems like a lot for Cooper. 1 year for 7 million though? Worth it even if he turns out to be washed.
How do you figure that? If he's washed, we'd be out cap space and a roster spot. I'd hardly say that would be 'worth it.'
Don't we have like 30 million worth of cap space?
Was thinking more along the lines of how in the hell you came up with the idea that the wasted roster spot would be worth it for a washed player.
Or, going a little further back, Stan Smagala...
I won't listen to it. I'm sure the guy has a touching story. But he is a football player and his quality of play over the last 5 years or whatever is all I really care about.
Yep, if we can simplify things for him he could have a good year.
Who says he's washed?
Uhh, that was YOUR hypothetical.
Yeah if he is washed, it's not worth it. Unless none is guaranteed in which case you could cut him with no real loss. Just one less camp body.
The tweet I responded to said he was washed. There is always a risk of falling off when signing an older vet though.
