Quote:in no particular order:
1. McCray
2. House
3. Colvin
4. Ball(?)
5. Browner
6. Harris
7. Gratz
If the team signs Browner then Ball isn't coming back.
Quote:I would think we would carry at least 5 CBs on the 53 man roster. Gratz, Colvin, McCray, House, Browner.
Also, injuries happen.
I've seen many times what looks like a deep CB situation in August become a situation in which players are being signed off the football street in the weeks and months that followed. To the point that it can easily be the reason a season is derailed.
Also, it's a positive to have a deep CB unit from the standpoint that it's often a position that greatly enhances a team's Special Teams units.
Quote:Just read the entire thread. Wow.
Wow is right. When did you start, yesterday? There's a whole lot (of nothing- lol just kidding) to read thru
Well the Eagles are about to sign Ryan Mathews so this looks like a 2 team race for Murray. Dallas or Jacksonville!

I just want an answer one way or the other already
i have a feeling Murray is using us as leverage to Dallas
he's giving them time to come with the proper offer
So back to Jaguars and Cowboys for Murray lol
ryan mathews to phly
Quote:True. And I think he has enough talent to keep that fifth spot, but if another guy steps up like McCray did you never know
There's many different ways to build a roster. If everything is equal, my preference is to have a very deep Defensive Line and Secondary. These days, it's not as necessary to have as much depth at LB because 3 or more WR sets are used a large % of the time.

If he signs here, people will say it was only for the money.
If he re-signs there, people will say he used the Jaguars.

This has got to be the most interesting start to a league year in recent memory. Plus the Jags got one of the best tight ends in football. Love it.

im already not expecting him, so i won't be disappointed
HOWEVAH, if he comes, i'm cool with being wrong
Quote:how old are you?
I asked this myself several times yesterday after seeing you snivel repeatedly that we were merely signing 6 solid upgrades to our roster, and not going all in on guys we never had a chance at.
I believe the DeMarco waiting game can best be described as blue chip blue balls.
Quote:It's not about that. You still don't overpay for running backs. He's 27, right? It's not worth the risk on a guy that has had injury issues in the past.
Ordinarily, I would agree. But these are different times, with the cap space we have and the need to reach the floor. Just look at the contracts that guys like JT Thomas and Skuta are getting. The going rate has gone up by a good amount. So the question is, do we want to overpay for sub-par talents that are left in FA? Or do we roll the dice on a guy who could, if he shows the form from last season, transform our offense?
Quite frankly, there is no offensive player (once Cobb stayed in GB) in free-agency that would have changed this still very young offense as drastically as Murray. With his addition and Julius already on the fold, the burden to carry this offense is suddenly lifted from the young shoulders of Bortles, Robinson, and Lee.
And that's just what this team needed offensively heading into the off-season.

Haha. And what happens if he signs with us? Don't answer that.
I'm not expecting him here. I think he's just trying to leverage as much money as possible out of Dallas. He'll sign with them eventually.

Unless you are literally the person writing him a check, the risk is minimal. If he comes here, the contract will be likely be written in a way where all the guaranteed cash is front loaded. if it is a 4-5 year deal, there will be no dead money on the last two or three years.

yep. essentially make it a 3 yr deal and get rid of him

Hey, atleast we know he's not a bust! (Drum roll- cymbal!)
Signing Murray would make this offense look real good from the outside. But would it be hollow?
Bortles
Murray
Thomas
Robinson
Lee
Hurns
but then, at the core of the offense:
Joeckel
Beadles
Bowanko
Linder
Parnell
Is that a hollow offense?
