Quote:Who is that up in arms over Ivory? 

 

Certainly not myself,  the Jags took a shot...if Ivory doesn't work out you cut him....no different from Beadles//Any signing considered a bust. 

 

Just because you have extra space doesn't mean you can't call a bust signing a bust.  Will it cause some long lasting effect that will spiral us down...no because we have the space but a bust signing is a bust signing.

 

What makes the Ivory signing any worse/better than the Texans Osweiler signing? 

 

Both can be seen as bad since they didn't live up to the billing...but are you trying to imply that Ivory isn't because Jags had the money anyways?

Just as purely bad signings, they are equal.

 

The question is how best to mitigate the damage from a bad signing?

 

Do you:

 

1.  Keep the bad signing on the roster another year?;

2.  Dump the bad signing and take the cap hit?

3.  Pay another team a 2nd round pick to take the bad signing off the roster and take the cap hit?

 

I think the Texans chose 3-the worst of the three options.
