Quote:Only problem is that Cecil aint "showing up".  He's been out hurt....again.

 

Of course when I talked about trading Cecil, Sanders was not suspended and both rookies were healthy. 

 

Obviously things have changed, but I still don't see them rushing to resign Shorts to a big contract.  Do you? 

 

I'm wondering if they are going to wait and see if the rookies can shine, and if Shorts' injury-prone issues continue, then let him hit the market.  If they do, everybody on here will then be screaming, "they should have TRADED him when they had the chance and could have got something for him!"

 

I don't see them signing him to a BIG contract.  But if he plays in all 16 games (or a number really close to that) I can see him getting 3.5 or 4 mil a year for 4 years.

 

I am not concerned with "trade hindsight."  I don't think his injury issues are that terrible and I don't think it's necessarily destined to be an issue moving forward.  I just think it's wise to have a vet receiver for Bortles when he's ready and someone we know can have a 100 yard game or two this year with Henne.
