Rolando McClain

That's a little scary, that they were willing to offer him that much. I like McClain as a player, not $4 million for 1 year like though.

And add to the fact that he could likely give AHern a run for his money in the stable part...

But...but....but....it makes no sense to get cap savings you'd just use on a replacement.

I wonder if Mayo is resisting the idea of a restructure. :shrug:

When is he scheduled to take his physical. Once he does he be given options restructure . Bb will be looking to trade or release him.

I'm absolutely certain Mayo has already been approached about next year. Waiting for his physical is a formality.

So <s>#</s>patriots offered McClain even more money and still didn't get him. That type of money shows me they're looking for starting caliber LB

They may trade up in the first round then. Or try to talk Patrick Willis out of retirement or something.

Eh I'm not so sure. I think they saw McClain as a possible young all pro calibre guy

So your position is that McClain is an all-pro who isn't good enough to be a starter?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I don't see any other way to look at it. He's a starter and the Pats wanted him enough to up their original offer. Starting caliber is what they were after.

I agree.

The FA pool wasn't very strong. Aprils draft could be telling.

 

[aloyouis]

He's being fined four game checks with no suspension. Also, on Hightower, the report that he would be out 6 to 7 months came out at the beginning of February, so he likely would be back, possibly for game 1.

Labrum surgery (which I am about to have) is no picnic. Recovery times long or longer depending on how far around the the tear is (mine is 1-195 degrees top to bottom, ugh).

if a see a better player and cap savings i will admit i was wro.. wr.....not correct

i have had a feeling about yhis from the day the retirement was announced... he wants out if SF and the chaos and retired instead of playing in that defense suddenly missing pieces.
