Burnett the clean up tackler

[Cheesehead Craig]

Gambling was due to multiple players not being where they were supposed to be including MB.

We'll just agree to disagree on this as I don't feel he was covering for players but just trying to make a big play and was out of position himself.

CW was not all pro last season and blanketed Davis nicely which contributed to a decent new contract.

Excellent point. He's making Jarrett Bush money.

All these sour grapes about misanalyzing CW's continued ability to play.

Using overpaid contracts to value players covers up one's ability to see what is really happening.

This board is too much about what someone can't do vs. what someone can do and make contributions.

What fool would give CW AR $?

Gud one! Woodson didn't even get Walden money - Walden "One of he worst OLBs in professional football*"

How old is Walden vs. CW?

CW has very little leverage.

That's not the point. The point is that he can't even get Walden money. That's not a 'decent new contract.' That's all. I think CW is getting what he deserves for his diminished abilities. Don't fault him at all for taking what he could get if he still wants to try and play. I think he's pretty much done, but being the fantastic athlete that he has been, who knows what he might do? With obvious exceptions, the NFL is pretty good at paying players what they're worth.

I wonder what will happen with Walden in Indi. The opinion here is definitely that he was barely JAG, even if he did show flashes. Certainly the Packers didn't see much future with him, I bet they were as surprised as anyone at the money he got.

Even if CW was an all pro last season, CW would not get Walden $.

Age and injury history prevent a lucrative contract.

IMO agent got best possible $ for an aging yet contributor in the right schemes.

Aside form the money the comments made by the Indy hc were hysterical.

Just getting started.

That's absurd, unless you are suggesting all pro designation due to a sympathy/past history vote. The Packers, and most teams in the NFL would have paid him far better than Walden if he played like 2009 last year. Woodson played like Donald Driver last year, that's why he's getting a bare minimum contract. Almost everyone sees the end is very near.

No doubt he will show some flashes, maybe even have a Chicago-like game. But he will also, very likely, look like dog droppings probably 90% of the time.

people would probably debate one or two of those; still, keep going, you only have about 4000 roster players left to evaluate. 1% is 40. Find 200 and then you're talking.

How do you explain cw covering vernon davis ranked as the number 38 player by the nfl network very well?
