Isn't he forced to meet a set % average of salary cap used over a 4 year period? They are not even close after what he has done last year and this year plus Grigson's last year as GM.

Luck is signed. Hilton is signed. The interior of the O line is signed. This team isn't ready to compete. Maybe after next year. Throwing money around doesn't =winning. See the Redskins

I'm just throwing shit against the wall. But would anybody here trade for Amari Cooper?

He had a horrible year last season, but has improved this season.

Gruden seems to be an idiot. So what would we give?

Not really forced. The team will have to pay the players union if they don't meet the cap minimum.

Like Hoosier said, they don’t have to pay the players.

No. He was terrible last year as well right?

Hell no. We don't need any more guys who can't catch.

Cooper has dropped 33 passes in his short three-year career. Fitzgerald, for perspective, has only 34 drops over his past 10 seasons.

I am pretty sure they will not do that, rather move money forward on a few contracts to cover the percent or extend a vet with something front-loaded.

Difference between throwing money around and investing in areas where you can improve your roster without compromising a core belief of building from within though. I think it's folly to go either/or on that philosophy.

One of the rare things I agree with Venturi on...
