Quote:Lol at Gus Bradley being a "closer."

 

Not sure how you could even make that conclusion. If we were in a public bidding war for a high profile free agent, and we won the deal even though we offered less, I would call him a "closer."

 

But without that information, I'm not sure I would say that just yet.

 

I do agree that he has a magnetism that seems to draw people in. But I wouldn't say he's closed any big deals yet.

 

If you've listened to any of the pressers given by the new acquisitions, every one of them has talked about how impressed they were with Gus Bradley.  It's got nothing to do with the money.  That's always going to be the driving factor for players.  But, if all else is equal, then it can come down to the coach. 

 

It's not about how "big" the deal is.  It's about having an advantage in the event we do get into a bidding war over a player.  I see Gus as a huge advantage for this team in drawing players in.
