Not a fan of the deal

 

But we don't know the deal yet. We know the ceiling of the deal, which we all should know is not exactly "the deal."

More than I wanted to pay him, but figured this would happen.  Was hoping it would be for 3-4M a year tho

Yeah not far off tho especially with the “up to” wording in that tweet

[thenorthremembers]

Dont hate it.   29th in terms of average salary.  Get a guy back who has already been in the system and can help a rookie learn the scheme.   Low risk high reward.

[Bookie Man]

I felt like he was improving as the season went on. Needs to play more controlled. Had some friendly fire hits. 

[In Summary]

I miss Poyer already.

[mannc]

re-signing, not resigning

[Aussie Joe]

They will still sign another FA safety and draft at least one more … 

[Warcodered]

He was starting to look for the ball instead of peoples heads towards the end of the season, could have something there.

He punishes teammates who've already made the tackle for getting there sooner.

Wow. With all the guys out there this stinks.

If there was EVER a position where McBeane deserves the benefit of the doubt, it MUST be safety don't ya think??

We had Rapp last year. We know what we are getting with him. Don’t know why you give him that kind of money.

You don't really know WHAT kind of money they're actually giving him, though. We have the absolute CEILING of the deal. That can be quite misleading. Come on, man

What a terrible deal. He was a liability last year. Personal fouls incoming.

 

He got a lot better later in year when he was more accustomed to defense.

Hyphens matter.

Hope so.

I love this guy, don’t get the hate. We need a little more nasty on the back end.

100% dude is awful in coverage. He’s a Heat Seeking missile and a good tackler. Not a fan and honestly surprised this is the direction we’re going at safety 

[MJS]

He'll be a lot better in Poyer's role. Plus, he seemed to get better later in the year.

 

I have no issue with this.

How many times does it need to be said that you should never, EVER take the first reported signing of a contract at face value? 

The devil is always, ALWAYS in the details. The first report of a signing or re-signing is always by the player's agent, and always stated in a way that makes it sound as favorable as possible for the player. Invariably, followup reports often show greater detail that make the deal seem a lot more fair and palatable.

And yet, every year, we continue to go through the "first announcement sticker shock". Every year.
