The restricted period ends Thurday and neither Cole or Morency have been assigned a tender yet.

Done to both. Hopefully Ruvell Martin and Frank Walker find their way to the door as well.

Cole, Morency, Martin and Frank Walker


These are the four who are old enough to know we don't have anything. If any of these guys is on 53 man roster when the season kicks off, I'd be suprised.

Considering that they took franchising Williams down to the wire, I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson tenders either of these guys at 10:57 Central Time tomorrow.

Depending on what team scouts think of Muir and Bolston (and potential later round DTs), Cole probably gets a mid-range tender. Morencey might not be back, though.

How can you want Ruvell gone? Ruvell was great last year, he caught virtually everything thrown to him and every time he had the ball he was doing something good with it. He's likely the best #5 WR in the league. Don't get rid of him unless you've got somebody better ready to go right away.

Personally, I don't really want to get rid of anybody on this team. Some people might be gone as an economic decision (like Bubba was), but nobody on this squad was so bad last year that I want them gone.

Also, Frank Walker isn't the answer longterm, but you can never have enough CBs going into camp. I'd say if you can pay him what you paid him last year, you bring him into camp and cut him if somebody else does better. He wasn't embarassingly awful, he just wasn't particularly good.

I don't have problems with Ruvell either. Like Lurker said, caught most everything thrown his way and was a good down-field blocker.

I agree completely. I looked at Ruvell as being a project for the future. Besides, he does a great imitation of Favre.

He can also long snap, or was that Jones? I know one of our WRs was the backup longsnapper.

And your problem with Ruvell is?

i was waiting for you to show up in this thread


lol but yea keeping ruvell is a good idea.

[RashanGary]

Ruvell doesn't help on ST's and he's below average at WR. I don't think he's going to get any better so I'd rather see turnover than stagnantly average at our depth positions.

Cole is what he is and that's below average. I'd rather see a young guy who might be a starter some day than keeping a guy who we know will never be.

Morency is junk

I'd rather see a young up and comer than Walker.


It's never good to have below average talent sitting at the bakc of the roster never turning over. The more guys you take a look at, the better chance one has of stepping up. Hell, I consider Daniel Muir and Charlie Pepprah higher priorities than any of these four.

Martin is a talent that is under utilized imo.

[Lurker64]

Martin is a talent that is under utilized imo.

Agreed 100%, he has everything you'd want in a receiver except straight line speed.

[Patler]

I don't think the lowest tender would net the Packers anything for Cole. Cole came into the league as a free agent, I think. I certainly can't see a higher tender for him than that.

What about the HUGE drop against the Giants; that could have been a game changer ?

Ruvell is OK; but I would not be surprised if we find somebody better either
