Smart move, IMO
Whats the point? With the new salary cap, the top 5 players made about the same amount of money. And since he's a QB, he'd likely get more money that the other non-QBs drafted ahead of him.

I don't see why he'd want to go back just to be drafted #1 overall. Don't see the benefit.

I'm pissed as anyone that this draft sucks for qbs, but it's not a death blow.

If Manning is out there, pay him for 2 years and grab a guy the following year. We just can't sit idle though if he is with the potential to waste the prime years of the true superstars we have on this team.
yep.

Indeed, not the same money at all.

Matt Stafford got $42 mil guaranteed

I still think its money related.

Or, maybe he just feels he's not quite ready for the NFL.

every other team that bid under Auburn...

That 2.5 million or what ever the $, trial balloon on Orton looks alot better this afternoon

baitism 12-22-2011 06:02 PM
1. RGIII (if available...he won't be)
2. Resign Orton for next year
3. Stanzi as backup

Green Bay is not the worst D in football...not even ****ing close.

The only thing that interests me about Barkley is seeing how interested people actually are in him. The guy is a total toad. I would hate it if we drafted this prag.

Seems he just appreciates in the moment how awesome his college life is. Its a risk of getting hurt, but I guess he figures the $ will be there next year and from then on.

Better hope Orton is the answer for a few years and Stanzi becomes QBOTF because this ****ed our chances at a 1st round QB.

I'd imagine he has some kind of insurance policy.
