Saffold is gone

He could have texted that in last year when they signed Long. Wish him well and thanks for his effort.

Good luck to him wherever he ends up. Hope it's not the Raiders for his sake.

 

[blackbart]

Good luck thanks for the time served.

If someone is really dumb enough to pay him $8M per year they deserve each other.

 

[BatteringRambo]

The Raiders. If I were GM would have retained Veldheer.

After the very professional way he handled the Long acquisition, I'm not going to speak ill of him for cashing in elsewhere.

Unless it's the Niners or the Patriots.

I will watch for him on the Injury report list. JK, obviously he played hard and had some bad luck. Best wishes to you Rodger have a great and injury free season.

Goodbye. Will dearly miss your talent, but will not miss the injuries.

That's old news! Anything fresh?

Well I posted the tweet about 20 seconds after JT sent it.

...sorry you saw the post about 40 minutes after it had been posted.

I just can't bring myself to wish him well at this point. I wish him no harm, but he's the enemy now. I don't want to see him become a Pro Bowler elsewhere.

 

[Selassie I]

Count me as relieved.

He's an injury waiting to happen.

It's been a while since we lost a significant player in FA. I almost forgot what it felt like.

Well, we basically swapped T's, didn't we? We got Jake but lost Saffold. If Jake can stay healthy then we did OK. Kind of a bummer, though.

Enjoy Oakland, Saffold. It's like you're in an upgraded scenario.

That's not really a fair deal, is it? Saffold at his injury-free best still isn't on Long's level as it is.

I would not call Saffold significant.

You do remember that guy SJ39, all time leader for the Rams???? Not that Jackson was in his prime but Saffold isn't close to being significant in my book, he has never played enough to be in that discussion.

NFL careers are relatively short, can't blame the guy for wanting to cash in before he starts getting "old"

If the Rams don't sign an equivalent player, what would the expected Compensation be for Saffold?

Sure hate to see him go but....
