Quote:Correction, they have been getting rid of Gene's BAD picks.  The problem is that there aren't many good ones to keep around.  The roster was purged because it was bad.  Not because he wanted to make the average fan happy by dumping the past GM's players.

 

Shorts was a project when he came in as a rookie.  He progressed his second year and got even better last year.  Concussion problems hindered him.  Now he's back to full go.  I'm saying that I don't think Caldwell would want to trade a known commodity, in the prime of their life, in peak health, when he's bringing around the new future at QB.  

 

I think Shorts gets extended to something around an $18 mil total contract.

Quote:$18M for how many years?  6?  No way he should average over $3M a year.
