    Nutz, I hope you are correct. It would be even better if he took a moderate pay cut to help us with the cap, but I definately don't want to see DD go. He is still one of my favorite players. My posts here are for debate, and I believe that all I say is possible, but I would hope it plays out in a way we can all be happy with. Better than Al Harris played out who is possibly my all time favorite for his attitude and work ethic.

      Barnett has proven to be replaceable. DD has not. DD stays.
      All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

        Not replaceable? Maybe because of pure opportunities for WRs versus ILBs...
        No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

          DD was replaceable most of last year. And his injuries are not likely to be less frequent.
          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                I don't think Jones gets more than 3-4 mil a year from any team. This is a very deep pool of free agent Wr's and I could see all the big spending teams already inking wideouts by the time Jones gets interest.
                But if you sign Jones and cut Driver, aren't you still going to have dead cap money for Driver? And is it worth paying Jones a big salary plus Driver's dead money? Do you really need another WR that badly when you could have Driver for a cheaper rate? It wouldn't make that much sense financially, I don't think. And especially since Jones is going to want more than a two year deal, and you'll have the contracts of people like CMIII coming up...

                  I believe Driver still has the drive and determination to be a capable #2 WR in this league, although the injury concerns certainly weigh heavy at this point in his career. I don't mind keeping him at his current salary this year because he has earned it and I don't think we will have any difficulty staying under the cap. It also gives the rookie time to develop instead of possibly getting thrown to the wolves.

                  Do the cut/resign thing to him NEXT YEAR...when I don't think Driver will have any issue with it.

                    1. He's had almost 6 months to heal.
                    2. Yes.
                    3. It depends on how he performs this year. If he's good this year, then I think he might have a problem with that.

                      Desbishop55 has made 17 career starts and forced six fumbles. Nick Barnett has made 113 career starts and forced just two
                      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                        Bishop hits people. Barnett brings them down. Bishop is a stud IMO. I was concerned about his ability in space, particularly in pass defense. While he's average there, he's absolutely earned his spot in the starting lineup the hard way and I look for him to continue to get better.

                        Remember that highlight reel hit he had in the preseason a few years back? He's due for another one like that this year.

                        This one wasn't bad either.

                          Barnett seems to think that something will happen today.

                                Well, apparently they haven't cut him yet.
