Delete This Account Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw
Captain Caveman Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw Thanks John. YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Hopefully he proves himself worthy of my enthusiasm.
loyal2dagame Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw shefter is probably the most reliable person when it comes to "unofficial" news he must have been very smart and very careful to not burn bridges upon leaving nfl network to still get the scoop on everyone on most things football.
Dan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw Excellent news!! I was curious to see how this would play out with you and Schefter going head to head on scoops. That guy is good! I can't express enough my gratitude for someone of your caliber posting here to keep us informed and knowledgeable. Thanks and keep up the good work... so I can avoid working and just read this board for updates all day.
buffaloaggie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 5 years and $25M...think there will be any expectations for Mr. Maybin? Glad he's signed, but he has a whole lot of time to make up for. Really don't want to see a Derrick Harvey type year of 15 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Ramius Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw 'round these parts, there's no need to give kudos or acknowledge any ESPN assclown, save Tim Graham.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 shefter is probably the most reliable person when it comes to "unofficial" newshe must have been very smart and very careful to not burn bridges upon leaving nfl network to still get the scoop on everyone on most things football. Schefter is, hands down, the best at breaking stories like this first IMO. I trust his word over those of all others in the business.
Brand J Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 The holdout was completely unnecessary. I am sure that this contract he has signed today, existed 4 weeks ago. It is in line with the parameters of the other 1st round contracts...
DC Tom Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I don't consider it confirmed until Skooby posts inside information that completely contradicts it.
Bullpen Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Glad this Bataan death march of a hold out is over. So obviously Poz "vouching" for him had something to do with this? "Vouching is good! We need more of it to win on Sunday." (in honor of LSI)
JPicc2114 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Even if Maybin can't play on defense right away, he will be a freaking torpedo on special teams
Astrobot Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 "The longest holdout in the NFL last summer lasted until Aug. 27. That was by Jacksonville defensive end Derrick Harvey. He wound up starting nine games for the Jaguars and making 3.5 sacks." I will bet Maybin gets more than 3.5 sacks this year, possibly before Week 9.
Bufcomments Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Schefter is, hands down, the best at breaking stories like this first IMO. I trust his word over those of all others in the business. Why the NFL network did not re-sign him is beyond me...
GOBILLS78 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 So is this contract dead-on compared to what the Joe Schmoe's predicted considering the slotting?
buffaloaggie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Why the NFL network did not re-sign him is beyond me... I think ESPN may have lured him away. From what I hear, the two networks hate each other and will do just about anything to steal the other's talent.
Tcali Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Does anyone have stats for TO and Evans yet? I'm having trouble deciding on their value for my fantasy draft. Thanks! JP kicked Bradys arse in the combine
loyal2dagame Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I think ESPN may have lured him away. From what I hear, the two networks hate each other and will do just about anything to steal the other's talent. who on espn is consistantly good enough for nfl network to want them besides berman, jackson and jaws?
buffaloaggie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 So is this contract dead-on compared to what the Joe Schmoe's predicted considering the slotting? Pretty much... The #9 pick has signed a five-year, $28.5 million deal with $18M guaranteed The #12 pick has signed a five-year, $23 million deal with $13M guaranteed
