DrDawkinstein Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 no, the 1 year deal is the main thing that is letting me rationalize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 No, I like the one year deal. It gives him a reason to behave himself to try and get more money next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure...The only comfort I would have in accepting that 3 yr $18 mill deal for him is that Cincinatti gave Coles one more year for $1 mill more a year bascially. Potential problems or not, I would still take Owens over Coles in those 3 year scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 He has a good year and we go deep in to the playoffs , he will get 25 mil for 2 years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 For sure...The only comfort I would have in accepting that 3 yr $18 mill deal for him is that Cincinatti gave Coles the same amount of years for $2 mill more. Potential problems or not, I would still take Owens over Coles in those 3 year scenarios. I thought that Coles raped Cinci for 4 yrs $28 mill...

seq004 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just read on another website Coles is getting 9.5 his first year in Cinci. Who got the better deal Cinci or Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It depends on how the deal is laid out. If it's 6 mil $ a year with a 1 $ mil signing bonus, its essentially three one year deals, since we can cut him at any time without any real penalty. If it's a 6 Mil$ signing bonus, 6 Mil$ the first year, and 3 Mil$ each of the next two years, that would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pfft... Tricky post, meant to squelch anybody who...dare... utter...OVERPAID! Just trying to figure out how important it is to people that he goes away at the end of the season. What if he has a 1600 yd 15 TD year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I thought that Coles raped Cinci for 4 yrs $28 mill... Not a good thought. Mike Brown let 5 FA starters walk the past 2 seasons. He never gets raped. It was a signing of true love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I thought that Coles raped Cinci for 4 yrs $28 mill... Highway robbery. Would've been the only thing that would make a 3 year deal to Owens taste okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he has a 1600 yd 15 TD year? I don't necessarily have a problem bringing him back, as long as we keep in mind that 1. he'll be 37 years old next year. 2. he hasn't had two consecutive trouble free years since early San Fran. and don't overpay him accordingly.

stuckincincy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just read on another website Coles is getting 9.5 his first year in Cinci. Who got the better deal Cinci or Buffalo? Not according to the local newspapers, and their team site...so far. What is this source you cite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then offer him another one-year deal. I've always been of the mindset that TO is a child, and like a child, you're better off handing out incentives in small increments so the incentive is always there. When the incentive is out of sight, guys like TO regress. The only thing I like about the current deal is that it is for a single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Then offer him another one-year deal. He has that kind of season I doubt he takes another one of those. I'm 95% certain this is the only season TO will be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i would kill someone if it was a long term deal. TO is always good his first year, then after that is when he works his locker room magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
