Don Carey signed for 3 more years

[gandydancer]

This the same group that paid Wendling over 900K a year for 10,20, and 23 tackles. Carey a solid reserve yes. Why sign him to 3 years? Give him a one year deal.

Kreton you missed the boat. Never said wanted stars up and down. They just settled on Carey. I am guessing come March 11th teams would be knocking down his doors to be on their team. These guys like Carey need to be pushing starters for their roster spots. Competition creates stronger play!!! You think Delmas gives a shit of job security when starters see journeymen beside them.(sure you think Delmas is stud after INT and a hard hit in Vikings game. Never watching the 4 miss tackles on 3rd sting RB because he can't tackle) Ashlee Palmer needs to be pushing for a starting role. That makes Levy play harder. Palmer will never threaten that spot. They will settle on Palmer and resign him because he is a solid reserve.

I was listening to NFL on XM. He spoke of RG3 being name starter day one. No open competition with Cousins. Then mentioned had Pete Carrol had no open competition and said Flynn was starter, what would of come of Russell. I believe RG3 and Russell would have rose to top in both situations. This is what I am talking bout. make a man compete for it, make a man compete to keep it. Would love to see a coach who supports this theory.

1 mil per year is about the top end of what I would pay him so not too bad but not great.

Carey and Palmer may have more value in a 3-4. Funny if they hybrid the 3-4 and these two actually have big years for a new D-Coordinator.

They wont, they are backup special teamers.
