...sorry for confusion......not implying there is any correlation......with no FA bites yet, structure a nice pay raise from his $1.9 mil versus some mega deal.....

Julio Jones Could, and Should, Be the NFL's Highest-Paid Receiver Mike Freeman March 22, 2019 He will soon be the highest-paid wide receiver in football. My understanding is the Falcons and Jones are closing in on a deal that would pay him $20 million a year over a four- or five-year contract extension. He would get anywhere from $50 million to $60 million in new guarantees, one source told me. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2826893-julio-jones-could-and-should-be-the-nfls-highest-paid-receiver

....BUT.........he had a BOGO coopin'...............

...so then decline and hope to re-sign?....seems logical versus $10 mil.....

...which to me means McBeane has no intention of leaving any stone unturned when it comes to all three phases of this club.....thank GOD....we could be on to something here as far as leadership (COUGH).....

...what exactly has Putz Boy proven to warrant a high pick other than piss off his teammates with his "fine whine" about where he was picked?......the sniveling rich kid just doesn't get it.....HINT: rumored on the block after one year should tell you something......glad McBeane didn't take this worm on the hook....strictly MY opinion.......others do like him and I certainly respect that......how this place is supposed to work..........

...ER Bombers?....playing for "The Jug"?...LMAO........my current friendships/affiliations in ER date back to the mid 70's...thank God for no email servers in THOSE days....

...will flags match uniform colors or all be neon orange?.......could get Maybelline or MaxiPads as major sponsors.....

....TBD football GOD.....just genuflected to you on my screen...........go RED RAIDERS!......

....it was $1.9 mil.....so if worthy, you can probably lock him up at decent money on a 3 year deal....worthy or not?.........

...good thread...dichotomy of respected opinions make this place work......."in McBeane we trust"...........

...agree...if it doesn't fit, you must acquit.................

...DON'T despair.......it's early.........

...EXCELLENT analogy my friend....BOTH did their best to sully the family name thinking it earned them MORE lives.....

...somebody posted a McBeane quote.....to paraphrase, "we assign a value to a player and that's it".....so if he values someone at 9 or higher, he moves up....if not he moves down to grab an extra 2nd.....perhaps has players graded as 1A, !B or 1C without glaring differences between the "1's".....so if 1A is gone, he takes 1B......same for group designated as 2A, 2B, 2C.......probably dead wrong, but this guy impresses me as highly organized, well planned, methodical and deliberate with a bunch of "what if scenarios" laid out....hell, wouldn't surprise me one bit if her's already sketching out 2020, potential UFA's, possible draft positioning, etc...........

...GREAT call bud.....forget the nine lives crap...this is a high payin' big boyz league......wanna test throwing away millions because of your uncle?......nicely done.....

...DA must be up for re-election...STILL chasin' a 77 year old guy.....must mean Miami is down to 0% in all other crimes....

....needs to be able to play his natural position(s) if, IF called upon.........can't get caught up again in the "Bobby April Dilemma"......injury bug hit and none of his STers could step up into their natural positions....he had too much influence on the final 53 IMO.......

...so then he was NOT fired as some pundits suggested?......been under my rock since December.......

...with 90 eventuals on the roster OTA's/TC), long way to go in the sorting out process before final 53..........

...eat your heart out...I ran a 4.55 yesterday......as in 4 HOURS 55MINUTES......

..played for $1.9 mil last year on a one year deal......

...Buddy would still be hibernating until Draft Day...............

...north of $10 million...........

...gonna be a LONG weekend......oh boy...............
