Now Who Would You Extend?

[SnakeLH2006]

Collins in a heartbeat. Personally, I felt we had to wait on Collins this offseason, but he really looks the gamer/ability/and young.

Pickett is old and replaceable with BJ, and has declined since 3 years ago yearly.

Kampy is hurt and 30 and out of place anyway (still would like to resign him reasonably though, bulk him back up and put him back at DE at 285).

Colledge is good for getting Mike sandwiches during meetings.

Pickett appears to be having one of his best seasons, but Collins is a special player. THey need to keep them both and spitz as well.

This is right on the money. Cannot let any of those three guys go without taking a huge a step back.

Wow... 19 of 21 for Collins. We have spoken I guess

Pickett is getting long in the tooth, but he's a fat guy, so as long as he can clog the middle, he'll be servicable.

Don't know if they'll sign Colledge or not... he's wildly inconsistent.

He also is playing a lot fewer snaps since we hired Capers, considering that he never plays in the Nickel (as we went to a 2-4-5 in the nickel, or a 3-3-5 with Kampman's hand down). Big NTs tend to have long careers when their snaps are limited to either base or situational packages, and they're not expected to play the whole game; I mean... Pat Williams is 37 years old.

Whoever voted for Colledge should be castrated.

Checking results....

Carry on.

That's just good stuff there, esoxx.

I hope they tag Kampy and get something for him. Its a shame he got hurt for both him AND us. If he hadn't got injured he'd be a hell of lot more attractive to prospective teams than he is now.

Coming off a major knee injury his value will probably plummet. We were looking at a possible late 1st to 2nd rounder and a late pick. Now I'd say 4th at best.

Think of the risk we'd be taking if the market wasn't there for Kampy and we franchised him anyway.

Collins, yesterday.

that option is gone, since the knee injury. we'll either resign him, or likely get nothing...

If we tag Kampy and noone bites, isn't it along the lines of 9 milllion?

It depends on whether or not they tag him as a linebacker or not. If he fights that (more lucrative to be tagged as a DE), then it could be higher.

Point is that no one is likely to take the risk of recovery along with a big contract. Tagging him is most likely out of the question as there is too much risk involved.

I'm pretty sure there's a pass rushing OLB/DE tag out there.

But to Brohm's point, the tag can be rescinded by the team at any time if Kampman hasn't signed yet.

I think if you're Kampman, you sign that tag on day 1 under the circumstances. The Packers can still trade him, (if they have any offers), but the tag amount is guaranteed. That's the risk, and it's a big one.

Also, the tag for OLB's is a lot less than DE's. That was my point. 9mil is probably the lowest amount. DE's are probably around 14mil.
