Re: Ferguson
I'm guessing now that S Ken Hamlin signed somewhere.Originally posted by PacknutLet's see now. Fergy gets a base salary of 1.8 MILLION this season? The guy not only has a terrible injury history but even when healthy NEVER PRODUCED.
Yet your gonna tell me Eric Johnson who at least had 1 outstanding year was to expensive at just over 2 mill? Hamlin who would have been a HUGE upgrade over Manuel would have cost what 2.3 mill?
Oh well, just another case of me over-reacting........

Wouldn't this have been a nice Free Agency?
Justin Griffith - 2 million
Eric Johnson - 2 million
Ken Hamlin - 2.3 million
Travis Henry - 2 million
This would leave us with enough money to lock up Barnett, Corey Williams, and our draft picks, as well as give us room to work a trade in, but alas it didn't work out that way and we are stuck with Brandon Miree, Donald Lee, Marquand Manuel, and Vernand Morency as our starts.
Oh well =/
My dream pre-season (after seeing how everything has gone) would be this
- Sign the aforementioned free agents.
- Lock up Barnett
- Trade my 1st for New Englands two 1sts (They want Reggie Nelson)
- Trade my lower first for a 2nd, and a 3rd
- Trade one 2nd with Ferguson for Moss and another 2nd/7th for Turner
- Draft Brandon Merriweather in the first
- and.. Win the Superbowl
but i'm not the GM and this would only work in a dream world.
Soon they may be looking for a new GM.

For the good of the Forum, somebody oppose Bretsky and argue with him that we must keep Ferg!
Spec teams play is important, but it doesn't keep you on a roster making the kind of money RF is making. if he can't contribute as a WR, he must be cut for a player who can run the field and play WR.
Ferg is a slot guy and doesn't like getting hit when he makes a grab over the middle. It's time to move on.

Re: Ferguson
I'd rather our GM HAVE a picture and not demonstrate to me or anyone else a single clue as to what he might do. I'd also like my GM to already have a pair that doesn't need strapping on.Originally posted by woodbuck27'' Well I believe or have faith in. . . ''

I think he meant to get a jersey before his bones break again and the Ferg and his new number are put on IR
I expect the Ferg to compete for a seat on a bus out of town.

I wonder if he has weak bones or why exactly he always gets hurt.
There is medication for the other guy, but there ain't no help for P....Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

FROM JS
Prescribed role: McCarthy doesn't plan on holding back on receiver Robert Ferguson's special teams work.
He'll get a full load to go along with whatever role he plays on offense.
"I really need him to step up and be a core player on special teams because I think he has the ability to be a Pro Bowl-type player in that area," McCarthy said. "He's a unique body type for a receiver because he's a tough son of a gun now. He can do a lot of things with his body type on special teams."
McCarthy said Ferguson didn't take his demotion to No. 3 well last season and he expects him to be in a better frame of mind this season. He said Ferguson stood to play a lot on offense.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.

Re: Ferguson
From what I saw he got 5 years at 12 Million, which would be roughly 2 per year. This could have been his guaranteed though.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersI think Henry got much more than that--around $5M/year.Originally posted by OS PATravis Henry - 2 million

I don't believe in cutting a guy that's been hurt, at least let him compete for a spot, TT can always cut him later. I admit, I was pissed they didn't draft Chambers but I don't think Fergy is crap either, I think he can help the team when healthy. I can remember him making some big third down catches. I'd hate to see the viqueens get him and turn him into something.
An inspiration before and after a frightening neck injury prematurely ended his 2004 season, was focus of team?s dedication in clinching division championship at Minnesota that year
Earlier, used his trademark heart and work ethic to overcome another obstacle: a handful of injuries that robbed him of all but one game his 2001 rookie season
Slowly worked his way back up the depth chart, playing in all 16 games in 2002, then authored an impressive 2003 season, posting career-high numbers in receptions (38), receiving yards (520) and touchdown receptions (four), despite battling injuries
Also in ?03, led the club in special teams tackles for the first time with a career-best 17 stops, and returned seven kickoffs for 148 yards (21.1 avg)
Now has appeared in 56 career games, with 25 starts, and recorded 111 receptions for 1,546 yards and 11 TDs
Signed a four-year extension, through 2008, before the ?04 campaignThanks Ted!

If it is your information about his rookie season is not accurate.
He was healthy his rookie year. Here's a better bio. A real shit attitude as a rookie. He was the only player drafted in round one or two that was declared gameday inactive for over the first half of the season (I believe it was the first 10 games, but maybe 9) due to a coaches decision.
In 2002 he was a non factor as a WR
In 2003 he barely averaged 2 catches per game
In six years, or 108 games he could have been healthy for, he's pulled in 111 catches. He's hardly played in over half of the games.
He's a classic underachiever. It APPEARS his attitude is better, even though MM made a comment it was not good after being demoted last year. But he teases us each and every year and lets us down time after time after time after time.
Of course it's very tempting to get the annual "One More Year" rally cry going.
I've been hearing it for over three years now.

This is an instance in which it is entirely appropriate for me to say I am wrong. I liked Fergy over Chambers when he was drafted, and I bought into the if-he-stays-healthy-this-year he'll-be-good theory for many years. It has become transparently, abundantly clear, however, that Fergs does not have deep speed, does not make the tough catches consistently, is often not open when Favre does look for him, does not have Favre's trust, and gets hurt often.
If he could stick as a Pro-Bowl special teams guy, that'd be excellent. We could use a couple guys like that. But he can't be expected to be much more than a #4 receiver, at best."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
