I am not doubting that but people just saw his name and didn't even read what I had to say haha. It's fine I don't really care but what it comes down to is this...It was just an article like giving out ideas. I didn't say lets go out and trade for Jeffery right this second. People blow things out of proportion
Even those responding to people blow things out of proportions
And you're right some didn't think out a response and some did. Some did research into these players before even responding and gave you thought out and articulated responses.
I am well aware of all that...However I didn't say Joeckel would start. Also our line does suck lets be real here Robinson could be really good or really bad we will see, i like saffold but hes always hurt, reynolds and havenstein are arguably our best lineman, tim barnes is atrocious as are the rest of our centers, i like wichmann, jamon brown was bad...You can't tell me that you look at the names of our depth and say nope Joeckel wouldn't be able to fit in this roster. I mean come on
Sorry you're 100% wrong on that last line. I can't unequivocally say that I wouldn't add Joeckel and his almost $7 million dollar salary to our line to be a backup over Daryl Williams and Isaiah Battle who combined make $1.045 million. Couple that with the fact that we have less than $5 million in cap space available it's really a no brainer.
Alshon Jeffery $14.6 million
Dee Milliner $4.025 million
Darian Stewart $3.25 million
Now the only one that we aren't going to fit on the roster I'm sorry there's no way in hell we fit that contract of Alshon on the team this year or next. Here's something else to keep in mind when adding salary.
Free agents next year.
Trumaine Johnson
Michael Brockers
Kenny Britt
TJ McDonald
2018
Alec Ogletree
Greg Robinson
Aaron Donald
LaMarcus Joyner
EJ Gaines
Now some of those 1st rounders can be pushed back a year but that just makes them even more expensive in the 5th year. So when adding a salary like Alshon we have to realize that will likely cost us a one of our own free agents or two.
Sorry you feel that people are piling on you but when you come out and say that these responses are dumb and our team sucks you're going to get a forceful reaction. Again my personal opinion is the only one of the 4 I'd want on the team is Alshon. The problem is we have nothing to trade for him that we can realistically give up. Couple that with his salary is going to keep some of our home grown talent from being able to resign with us and that's strike 2 or 3 for us. As for the other 3 sorry but Joeckel is somebody else's trash that I'm not trading for to take that salary. Next year on a prove it deal? Maybe we can talk. Milliner is just a no we don't need to trade for $4 million dollar injury problems. We had Stewart, he wasn't as good in my opinion as you seem to remember him. I think he's going to get paid off of being on last years defense and that team will regret it. Let it be another team and lets not forget, Fisher had a chance to keep him and thought better of it. And there are two things that nobody can question with Fisher and that's an eye for talent on the DLine and in DB's and he and Williams develop them.
