Saint Doug

It could work. Dez Bryant has a stiff behavior plan, including a 24/7 babysitter, to keep him in line and it seems to be working.

There's a huge difference between a player "trying to maximize their earnings" and a player who just isn't interested in playing for your team and using you as a pawn. It's fairly easy to distinguish the two and all parties will win in the end no matter the outcome.

There was a contract signed. It just wasn't signed by Zach Brown.

I remember this video well and I believe Whaley was explaining BPA very differently than how TBD views BPA. He said BPA means who is the BPA for the Buffalo Bills. The BPA for one team may not be the BPA for another. He places need and scheme into this equation.

If I were the Saints, I wouldn't give up a 1st. It's not a trade they'll win. Let him stew on the Patriots, he'll eventually get his release.

We are only "mortgaging the future" if we trade back into Round 1 or trade picks to move up. That said, if there is a guy at 10 they must have, take him. If not, trade down to 20 or so and pick him then. It worked last time

I would be very hesitant to throw a lot of money at a LB who was part of a unit that allowed 3 200 yd/game rushers last season.

I wonder if Holmes and his agent somehow orchestrated this whole thing. It managed to get him considerable publicity.

Given that Whaley just forfeited 3 3rd round comp picks with these signings, it's probably going to be much easier to fit all 90 players under the cap.

Who, who, and who?

They should've brought him to Tempo his first visit and we wouldn't be in this mess.

On the surface, he may be asking him to come back. But, I'm pretty sure that scene is from Titanic. So, what is he asking him to come back to?

Good, Can they pay a team to sign IK, Meeks, or Douzable?

I don't see how this would matter. Let'a say he was on our roster, he got injured and had to miss 6 games. Would we cut him?

If they don't take this seriously, then they really are dumb. They're trying to get drafted high, or put another way, to make the most money. Who wouldn't want to help maximize the amount of money they could make? Now, I don't expect them to cram for the weeks leading up to the test, but no one benefits from getting a 4. That said, I don't know to what extent GMs use Wonderlic scores in their pre-draft evaluation. I assume they do considering the test is still administered.

His agent probably doesn't think so. If he was injured during the season, would we dock his pay? His agent likely doesn't care or find it relevant that he has been injured.

Is this a "inside source" thread like the Shady one?

Definitely should get a comp pick. I thought they should've got one from the Buddy phone call debacle too.

And just like that, Whaley regains the comp pick.

Some of these universities should be ashamed of themselves. I know they went there to play football, but they're giving diplomas to people who could only score 4-5 on the Wonderlic.

I'm glad he got this low-ball offer. We can sign him then won't have to worry about him getting a serious offer sheet.

There goes another comp pick!

Now that's a much more believable story.

Great signing. He a high character guy. The season may have worn on him, but when the rest of the D had given up, he was still giving 100% effort.

They do. $63 million in cap room.
