Couldn't do it. We had to have immediate turnaround after Herm and Peeholi.

But, I'm with you 100%.

Brandon Flowers done
 

They don't have to be exorbitant to cause problems. $4 mil per year for scrubs like those guys add up and, unfortunately, along with Bowe's contract, they may be a sign that our GM isn't great at contract negotiations.

If we didn't pay Bowe what we paid him, someone else would have.

And if Bowe walks.....people would be screaming that our GM traded for a QB and then made Donnie Avery his #1 WR.

So, he's not going to Denver, right?

Exactly. Bowe had ALL the leverage when we signed him. If we had let him go there would be 50 "SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO OVERPAY FOR GREAT TALENT!" threads on this board.

Detroit possibly looking at Flowers.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions featured one of the league's worst cornerback corps last season, and their supporters thirsted for a makeover.
But the Lions instead prioritized the offense, making receiver Golden Tate their star free-agent acquisition and tight end Eric Ebron their first-round draft pick.
And then they released Chris Houston, who was expected to be their No. 1 guy when he signed a $25 million contract just one year ago.
But the Lions might not be done quite yet.
CBSSports.com is reporting the Lions are "seriously considering making a run" at Brandon Flowers, who made the Pro Bowl last season but was cut anyway by the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Baltimore Sun reported Detroit already has reached out to the Flowers camp.
Flowers had 65 tackles, one interception and nine passes defended en route to the Pro Bowl last year. He played mostly in the slot, a spot currently occupied by Bill Bentley and fourth-round draft pick Nevin Lawson in Detroit.
He would be something of an odd fit here, given defensive coordinator Teryl Austin's preference for rangy, speedy cornerbacks who can run his press-man scheme. Flowers is good, but also 5-foot-9.
And Flowers, the biggest name on the free agent market, could command more money than Detroit can afford to play. The team has less than $1.5 million in cap room for 2014.
Still, Flowers is the most talented cornerback available, and the Lions seem to be interested in at least exploring whether he could improve a unit that currently projects to start Rashean Mathis and Darius Slay.
Mathis was Detroit's top cornerback last year, but is something of a wild card at 34 years old and perhaps not the best fit for such an aggressive scheme. Slay, who possesses 4.36 speed, is a better fit but also a wild card given his profound struggles as a rookie in 2013.
The Lions did add veteran cornerback Cassius Vaughn in free agency and Lawson in the fourth round of the draft, but neither is a candidate to start, even given the dearth of reliable talent at the position.

NFC? Fine with me.

Good luck to him. Good player, situation changed around him, and I wish him well.

Right. We needed him and there's no doubt about it..

We still overpaid. He's getting top 5 WR money. Even if you argue his production over his entire career, there's still nothing to make anyone believe that he's a top 5 guy.

That video is great LMAO

Everyone acknowledges we overpaid. Look at the top 5 paid receivers. Only 2 of them deserve to be paid top top WR salaries. But that's the nature of the business. The next top 10-15 WR to get signed will get a bigger contract than Bowe and so on and so forth. In 2 years Bowe will barely be hanging on to a top 10 contract.

At the end of the day, the choice was to either overpay Bowe and get him to stay or have Donnie Avery as our #1 receiver. Dorsey just did what he had to do.

I am waiting untill after the upcoming season before I start calling for his head. Unless the do a nose dive...
