Not to mention no State of Florida Income Tax ... Do you really think these guys sign with Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami to chase a ring? It's strictly financial ... "Show me Da'Money" :cool:

That is what I keep asking. It is like they all said "let's hold for a while to drive up the frenzy......"

Don't know if that is the reason but it curious to me that of the top 4/5/6 ILBs on the market, the only one to have signed a contract is Ray-Ray Armstrong who is a marginal starter at best.

Cheers,

Very true. Although I can't help thinking that maybe Poe heard Chuck's
"chopping wood" spiel and decided to get the hell out of Dodge.

Its solely about the money.

I understand the low shelf life of the average NFL player and trying to maximize profit, but going to a non-contender for a few extra million is something that I just dont understand.

4 year/56 million with Bortles

Or

4 year/50 million with Luck. Id go with Luck.

Maybe its the lifestyle i guess.

You give a lot hard working people out there 50 million dollars, most of them will have more money than started off with in 5 years.

I know i would.

Waiting for Hightower to set the market. Why settle for $7MM/year now if Hightower ends up getting $12MM/year? You may be able to negotiate for more once Hightower's deal is done.

Good point

I don't agree w/ Big Joe a ton, but one thing he pointed out that I did like: whereas Grigson would never let a guy leave Indy, because he'd pay him whatever, Ballard has proven that he sticks to a number and lets guys take it or leave.

I like a GM that sticks to his research on value. This bodes well for the draft, IMO.

@RapSheet
The #Raiders are getting a visit from #Bills FA LB Zach Brown, source said. Would be an upgrade over what they had last year.

@SiriusXMNFL
#Colts RB Robert Turbin: I've been texting with Dontari Poe trying to get him to sign with us and add to this defense

Hightower re signs with the Pats
