Bye Tavon ??? STAYS ON RESTRUCTURE!

[fearsomefour]

He' our new deal threat, he will finally learn how to separate and run routes .

Im guessing 50 catches, 800 yards , 8td next season

Then he can sign with KC for $16 M a year haha.

I doubt Tavon will be something he's never been (a good WR). I'd love it if he was, but I doubt it.

If Case Keenum can go to the NFC championship, and Nick Foles can win the Super Bowl, there's at least an outside chance that Tavon could catch some passes.

I have never been a Tavon fan, but like this signing. He has some unique talents. I hope the coaches can now work it in somehow.

Welcome back Tavon lol.

Can someone teach him to run a post?

Interesting. I’m surprised he restructured. The $5M was already a given.

So we came to him and said, either you restructure this year, taking between 1-2 million probably, or we cut you?

Tavon’s options
1. Take the $5M and go hit the market for a new contract now.
2. Stay on the restructured deal, hope to hit $3 Mil and know that this year is a tryout for the other 31 teams.

Rams Perspective: They save at least a little cash, and will have a VERY MOTIVATED Tavon Austin. They don’t get any compensation for him...but oh well.

Tavon’s perspective: He must know he had a really down year, so his value can only go up. He gets to stay on a team that he seems to love and an offense that should give him the best opportunity to showcase himself.

@nanotech I've dealt with some athletes having performance problems and I always recommend "The Inner Game of Tennis" no matter what sport they play. Pete Carroll's been known to give it to his players. You might wanna check it out.

Thanks

wow. remaining years on contract eliminated?

Incentive based salaries are not guaranteed. My understanding his 3 million salary would have been had he been on the roster after today. 50/50 at best he is on the roster for game 1.

 

[kurtfaulk]

i don't care. i'd rather have tavon on the team than on another team. still holding out hope mcvay can get him involved in devastating spurts.

Had he been cut he wasn’t going to see any money in future years anyway( I think). And Rams were only on hook for 2018 for any guaranteed money (I think)

correct but i didn't think he would agree to that. i like having players on contract years as they play their arse off.

Well, that's not too bad considering. We need it for Sully , AD, and a couple FAs.
