Ferguson

[Brando19]

I was inspired by another poster, Chester Marcol, so I decided to make this poll. Without a doubt, I'd bet money he'll end up on injured reserve during the upcoming season (assuming he doesn't get cut.) If I had to pick, I'd choose he'll go down for good in the middle of the season.

Where is the option for "He is gonna have a break out season"? :lol:

I think he makes the team and is the #4 WR behind DD, Jennings, and Moss.

Mixing Kool-Aid in our tequila, are we?? :wink:

They will stick with him because he was injured and he is a vet. Only after a season of less then mediocrity will TT get rid of him. By then he will have no trade value what-so-ever so we will have to eat his contract (whatever is left of it).

[MJZiggy]

We've been eating his contract for how many years now?

[Merlin]

You have to know that a balloon year is coming up. He signed a 5 year extension in 2004 and counts $2.5 Mil towards the cap in 2007. It looks like he will be a $3.0 Mil hit next year. He had a $3.5 Mil signing bonus and a $1 Mil roster bonus in 2005 both I believe have to be spread out. His base isn't bad this season, $1.8 Mil and then $2.2 Mil next season. The big jump was from 2005 to 2006 when it went up almost a Mil. Anything over 1 Mil for a guy who has been injured most of his career is a joke.

Actually, I don't wish ill upon anyone wearing the green and gold :huh:

[GBRulz]

Is it just me or does this seem like the never ending contract? I forgot that he just signed the extension two seasons ago. Thanks for the reminder, Merlin :(

Actually packers.com says he signed a 4 year extension and will be a free agent after 2008.

Yes, it turns out to be a 4 year extension because in 2004 he actually took a pay decrease within the extension so 2004 was basically like the first year of the 5 year extension. So on paper it's 5 years but in reality it's only 4. How it's reported is anyone's guess because his contract was a mess to figure out.

This could be the end for him.. I know we've all heard what a great heart he has, and a good locker room presence, but it may be time to cut bait and let him go.

The Pack opted for Fergie over Chris Chambers right? Wonder how things would've worked out with CC in place of Fergie :?: :?: :?:

Maybe he can find a job in Houston with his old coach!

[BooHoo]

I think he is short-lived also. Look for him to be cut sometime before the season opens. Probably after the first cut.
