Clearly since none of our rookies contributed much...

We're hardly ever draft winners. Our GM's always think they're smarter than everybody else.

Perhaps this time, our GM actually IS smarter than everyone else.

This draft was about replacing bloated contracts. It's as simple as that. The cuts next year are going to be many......Hali, Flowers, Daniel, Fasano, DeVito.....

Yup.

They can BS all they want about BAP but the truth is that every pick was to replace someone who was too expensive to keep or will be next year...

Well, we have to re-sign Houston, Berry, and Smith.

The more I think about it, Scott Pioli really left this team in a ****ing mess.

Bowe and his contract says hello.

ROFL

Yep. People want to give Dorsey shit for that Bowe contract but what the **** was he supposed to do? Trade for Smith and then have him throw to Avery and McCluster as his top 2? He ****ed up on Albert....I'm not giving him a pass for that.

He meant "every pick was to replace someone who was too expensive to keep, because of Scott Pioli"

That's the name of the game in the NFL to be honest. ABR. Always Be Replacing. Always

Well, I can't give him a pass on Bowe either. 2.5 years of guaranteed base salary is highway robbery.

But what does he do? Franchise and then lose Albert to FA? His back was against the wall and he made the only choice he could....other than signing Albert. IIt's whatever now and Bowe is probably gone after next year as well.

No doubt about it.

We got about 3 solid starters out of Pioli...

There are ways to structure a contract without guaranteeing that much base salary. Unfortunately, they gave him a pretty large signing bonus too.

It's almost like they really thought Bowe was THAT important. Kind of scary when you wonder what they'll do with Smith.

I really do think they might give him $20M per or something equally crazy.

Albert should have had a contract before Dorsey got here.
