Unreal the fascination this team has with ST players and is seemingly doubling down on stupid after ST was one of the main reasons we lost in the playoffs.

 

 

 

We lost because of ST so our goal should be to get worse at ST?

We already have enough money tied up in ST guys like Maketvich who I thought would be long gone or restructured for the minimum.

 

My point is that guys like Jones don't add any real value to this team compared to a dirt cheap UDFA or 7th rounder that can do essentially the same thing. I could care less about having 'the best gunner in the league' on this team it means nothing and changes nothing for this team's outlook this year.

I'd like to see you back up that argument about a 7th rounder being just as good as gunner god jones. Obviously NFL front offices disagree with you, including one of the best coaches of all time so it will be interesting to hear your side of things

 

thank you

I mean, should we poll NFL coaches and ask them if an elite gunner provides value to their team? What do you think they would say?

Steve Tasker may disagree.

I wonder if this is Ryan Bates $2.5 million cap space being spent now on a few scrubs.
 

Do you guys know Levi Wallace has a $2.5 million cap hit this year? 

Taiwan's contract most likely won't affect our cap.  It won't be in the top 51 contracts so it's irrelevant = smart signing

Minimum is just over $1 million so he will be top 51.

Makes sense - so the cap hit would be his salary minus whatever contract he knocks out of the top 51; probably something around $850,000 - so cap hit of $150,000 = nothing

Personally, I love this. Was kind of ambivalent about it before watching a bunch of games from last year and Jones was just up at the return man so so fast and with such fury. I love running it back with the same ST and I've said it before here, having watched the 2000 Bills and their atrocious ST (last in all four cats) and hearing about what happened to the 2010 Chargers, I'm more than fine with them spending the money to make sure ST is tight. 

But they had better know what situation they’re in….

McDermott has used a roster spot for a special teams gunner since Day 1. The year we didn't have Taiwan, we had Senorise Perry in the role. So if it wasn't Taiwan, it would have been someone else. And if that gunner were at a different position, it wouldn't add another RB on the roster or another RB on Game Day. We'd just carry 3 RB's instead of 4 and we'd still carry 2 RB's on Game Day. This is how McDermott operates. It is what it is. People need to get over it.
