Yes, the LaVar Leap was at Penn State ... freaking incredible play. He was always capable of making incredible plays, He just couldn't always be counted on to be where he was supposed to be. I was upset when Williams wouldn't play him. I would have rather lived with his free lancing than not but I guess the team let him go about the right time.
Yeah, in one sense he became his own worst enemy with his freelancing. That said, I wish they didn't trot out at week 14 in 2004 to play a meaningless game in which he was promptly injured again. But from an overall LB perspective letting Antonio Pierce walk after 2004 really screwed the pooch. A Marcus Washington @ strong/Lavar @ weak/AP as MLB with Lamar Marshall in the wings in case Lavar didn't do right would've been pretty sweet. Marshall wasn't suited to play MLB like he did in 05 and Warrick Holdman was flat out terrible as the weakside backer.
i would say yes it is , 2 young DT's in their prime with our 2 young de's should be priority if they continue to perform . and drafting well is a key especially at qb
at this point in time i see allen at 16-17 mil as well as payne . i see ionman at around 12 i see sweat and young at 22 mil a piece . tmac at 20 mil .. some of those guys on that list are overpaid but that is niether here nor there
and how is that ? not based on money . it will be based on want too and nothing else not money because we have the cap space
we have 74 mil in cap space next year without cutting LC . the new TV contract will have kicked in and the cap will continue to rise each year as it has over the past decades . and its not like we have to sign them all next year . you can take one or 2 at a time . i have posted numbers all off season about this .
Yeah right every player will get the highest contract ever
we dont have to pay every damn player top dollar. these projections are way over inflated
i have put up the numbers above
While Allen only had 2 sacks last season. His pass rush win rate was a top notch 17% which was top 10 among win rush rates and almost double his win rush rate of the year before when it was 10.2% and 39th ranked even though he had more sacks. PFF also just declared Allen a top ten interior defensive lineman. I'll be happily surspised if Allen signs for 17 million per. Paying Payne 16-17 mill per puts him right there or just below the top ten tier monetary-wise. So that's 2 of the highest paid interior DL in the NFL. As far as Ironman goes. Production-wise he's outplayed both Allen and Payne. He's also improved every year he's been in the league. If he continuies to trek along the same path as he has and stays healthy. He could justfiably get pissed off if the Skins come at him with a funky 12 mill per.
based on the list you gave me and the rumored numbers from various league sources , at this point in time subject to change those are the numbers being bantered about / and a good cap guy can manipulate numbers with bonuses , incentives and guarantees
True, true far as cap manipulation and a good cap guy goes. Though I'm not sure any cap guy has had to deal with one position on a team that features 3 1st rd picks, a 2nd pk that's a 1st rd talent and a 4th rd rd pk. That's arguably played better than all the other players, all of which has happened within a 3 year period.
