I'm still having trouble understanding why the eight million figure was reported. I know agents like to make deals better than they really are but that's pushing it. He won't even be paid as much money in one season as Allen will per game.
I get where you're coming from and I know a kicker needs a holder he is comfortable with. Find a new punter who can hold and is an upgrade at punter. Get a million reps in before the regular season and Bass should be fine. I've never heard of sacrificing punting because a guy holds the ball well. It's bizarre.
Unexpectedly resigning all three of what was perceived at the time as our best free agents last year (Milano, D. Williams, and Feliciano) even with a smaller than expected cap number lessened the criticism of Beane for not doing much in free agency.
Yes. I get it. Bojo should not be a holder because he sucks at it. My wife sucks at making grilled cheese sandwiches but most people are perfectly capable of making them.
The bigger prize is the HOF preseason game.
Maybe they prefer where they know they're going every week before the season begins. ABC gets two Super Bowls under the new tv contracts so they'll still get to call a couple. Plus, the money. I view Buck and Aikman as fine. They're not going to add much to the game but they also won't annoy me like some other crews.
They're actually 4th to win the AFC right now behind the Bills, Chiefs, and Broncos according to Fanduel. Ahead of the Chargers and Bengals (who I also consider contenders). You need better metrics than public perception to come up with a "percentage" of their Super Bowl odds. I agree with you when it comes to Beasley though.
He went 1-3 with two losses by a point against the Packers and Rams. He's a perfectly capable backup.
He is? Didn't they tender him?
Yes. The organization thought the prudent move would be to drive down Watson's enormous trade value by having a local lawyer convince all these women to file lawsuits against him alleging sexual misconduct, assault, etc... Take the tin foil hat off please.
