worst thing HowLo could do is sign Fletcher Cox to a 60mil deal

[Diggle]

I've always been a proponent of the "its not my money" school of thought but a 60mil deal would fuck this team up.

I say let him play it out this year, franchise him for a year and then figure it out. Guy has been a stud, but JJ Watt he is not.

[Ellsworth]

Isn't it already fucked up?

[IronEagle]

can't wait to hear Burger King talk about this.

One ACL injury would really F the Eagles over.

tough call but I get what you are saying

[SCREAMIN EAGLE]

Great Idea

Then after he makes 2 Pro Bowls and he's in his prime we can give him a contract worth $140 and Guarantee him $85 million.

Agree....

One more year...

1) you lose nothing

2) have another year to clean up the $$ mess

How did having the best DT in the league work for Detroit?

If he signs for a reasonable amount, sign him.


If he wants outrageous money that would skew everything on the team, trade him for picks or another player.


DT in this year's draft is deep. You're better off blowing up your salary structure for an edge rusher.

Would you say that he is a top 3 DT in the NFL? I do too, with that being said, $60 million guaranteed is the going rate for a top DT.

He can be here three more years without a new contract. This is last year of current contract, and you can franchise him for two more.

Yeah, fuck having good players. Let's continue to let every Pro Bowler walk when their first contract is up. It's cool, this team drafts awesome players all the time.

You guys are fucking crazy. That's going to piss him off.

That always works out real well

JJ Watt has the luxury of playing the Jaguars, Titans and Colts OL twice a year. Not to mention, he's in a 1-gap scheme.

“Houston is not the normal 3-4,” Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. said. “They are an attacking defense, and they don’t ask their DEs to two-gap like, say, Aaron Smith in his prime. Really, Houston is an attacking 5-2 more than a traditional 3-4. But ends in just about any 3-4 should be able to bump inside on throwing downs and pressure the QB."

HowLo was waiting for the Wilkerson deal to get done and then was going to base the contract off of that. With Jets in cap hell and Wilkerson getting hurt, it got all fucked up.

HowLo refuses to be the guy who sets the market (again) after overpaying for Bradford.

Nailed it 1000 %.
Agents want to be the ones to take credit for setting the market.
No front office wants to get bent over by the agent... and then get publicly reamed for it at the same time.

No faith in Howie?

We'll see how he ends up drafting.


But he is good at the contract game.
